March 5 Countdown to Justice
On February 5, 2012, the Campaign starts the countdown to Reggie’s hearing in St. Louis.

Missouri will feel the rolling thunder of justice and you have a role to play.

-Signing Reggie’s petition or getting signatures. Our goal is 10,000 new signatures by March.
-Adding 50 additional members to Reggie’s List of Influentials
-Attending events by the Justice for Reggie coordinated campaign
-Circulating information on the case to your circle on contacts, friends and supporters.
-Getting your place of worship involved in Social Justice Day



Just so you Know
Things have been moving so fast, we’re playing catch up. We want to keep you in the loop about what’s going on and who’s doing what.

Campaign Update - Week of 1/16/2012


MLK Day was awesome!
Members of the coordinated campaign and supporters were out in full force at the annual Dr. King march. In addition to the ACLU, Amnesty International, MADP and the NAACP, many of our other supporters joined the Justice for Reggie contingent. We will get photos up on Reggie’s website as soon as possible. We thank all of our enthusiastic petitioners getting signatures especially Steve and Laura.


Welcome New Influentials!
The Campaign welcomes 3 new members to Reggie’s List of Influentials. They are MO State Rep Penny Hubbard (D-58); Pastor LaJuana McFadden (Keeping the Faith Ministries); and Jasper Johnson (Jasper Johnson & Sons).


Social Justice Sundays
Is your place of worship raising up Reggie’s case in the pulpit and collecting signatures? If so, let us know the date.


Petitions
Keep gathering those signatures. In the very near future, the Campaign will start collecting completed petitions weekly. We’ll let you know where.

Campaign Update - Week of 1/12/2012

Dr. Martin Luther King Events


Please join us on Monday, January 16 for the annual Dr. King March. We will assemble at 10 am at the Old Courthouse, 4th and Market. We are asking community groups and church/temple folks to join the Justice for Reggie contingent in the King parade. Look for Reggie’s banner. Dress appropriately to stay warwm and be comfortable.


We need volunteers to collect signatures at the march and other King events during the weekend. Please let me know if you will be gathering signatures at any of the many events around town. Remember, Dr. King was staunchly opposed to the death penalty.


P.S. If you can make copies of the petition for the Campaign, please let me know.


On to the March 5 hearing!
