DESCRIPTION:FREE KEVIN COOPER             STOP THE EXECUTIONS     Coalition organizing 
 meeting  Monday, March 1 @ 6:30pm  AFSC Office  65 Ninth Street in SF at 
 the corner of Mission  (near Civic Center BART)  ALL WELCOME!!!  The Free 
 Kevin Cooper Committee For a California Moratorium wishes to thank  you all 
 for all the hard work to help save Kevin Cooper's life.  As you know  on 
 the day Kevin was scheduled to be executed, February 10, the Ninth District 
 Court  granted a stay and the US Supreme Court upheld a stay of execution 
 pending  further testing and testimony. IT IS A TREMENDOUS VICTORY. WE MUST 
  CONTINUE THE EFFORTS because Kevin is still on death row.  We need your 
 help to get Kevin a new trial and win a moratorium on executions in  
 California as a step towards abolishing the death penalty.  On Saturday, 
 NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown spoke at a Kevin Cooper Committee sponsored  
 event in Richmond calling for a moratorium on executions in California 
 after meeting  with death row inmate Stan “Tookie” Williams.  Barbara 
 Lee has also announced  her support for a moratorium and the California 
 State Legislature is considering  commissioning a study of the bias in 
 California’s death system.  This would lay  the legal basis for a halt to 
 executions.     Please check http://www.savekevincooper.org for updates.    
  Bill Lockyear, the state attorney general, is stubbornly  trying to appeal 
 again to execute Kevin Cooper as rapidly as possible. The  testing of 
 tampering is just one small piece of the prosecution's weak case.  WE MUST 
 DEMAND THAT BILL LOCKYEAR DEMAND A NEW TRIAL.  In the meeting we will  
 explore effective ways to leverage our efforts.  Upcoming Events:  *Stan 
 “Tookie” Williams new movie, Redemption, to be aired on Fox on Easter 
 Sunday  April 11th.  Stan is on death row in San Quentin and was recently 
 nominated for a  Nobel Peace prize for his anti-violence children’s 
 books.  We plan to organize  screenings of this movie across the state.  It 
 was recently premiered to  enthusiastic reviews at the Sundance Film 
 Festival.       *Peace March in San Francisco on March 20th  *Mumia Rally 
 April 24th in San Francisco  PLEASE COME ON MONDAY, MARCH 1st, TO OUR 
 MEETING AND PLEASE RSVP BY  RETURNING THIS EMAIL OR SENDING AN EMAIL TO
