Press Conference/Rally to Stop The Execution of Clarence Ray Allen
Thursday, January 12, 2006 4:00 PM
The California State Building
Van Ness and McAllister
San Francisco, CA 94102

****************************************

Stand with us as we say “No!” to the State sponsored murder of Clarence Ray Allen.

Join Clarence Ray Allen’s daughter and grandson as well as political leaders from around the Bay Area as we speak out against this execution.

DESPITE this man’s age and poor health,
DESPITE the racism and flaws of the death penalty,
DESPITE the pending legislation that would halt all executions in California

Clarence Ray Allen, an American Indian, is scheduled to be executed at 12:01 am on January 17th.

We demand an end to the inhumane death penalty. After killing Stanley Tookie Williams on December 13th, the state is speeding up the pace of executions. After Clarence Ray Allen they will attempt to execute Michael Morales, and possibly several more individuals in 2006. We need to build the movement to halt their execution machine!
