Today (Tue) 6pm -- Stop the Death Penalty at UC Berkeley, Free Speech Cafe
The U.S. Supreme Court today declined to hear Stan "Tookie" Williams' appeal of his death penalty conviction. Come to today's UC Berkeley event, or to the Fri., 10/21 event to learn more -- and to start organizing to stop the execution!
According to the Campaign to End the Death Penalty website ( http://www.nodeathpenalty.org/ ), today's event (Tuesday, Oct. 11) is at 6:00 pm at U.C. Berkeley's Free Speech Movement Cafe. (I think that the cafe is in the same building as Moffitt Library -- is that correct?). The website says that presentations will be made by: Darby Tillis, exonerated Illinois death row prisoner; Barbara Becnel, advocate for California death row prisoner Stan Tookie Williams; and Alice Kim, national organizer, CEDP. For those of you who may not have heard of him, Stan "Tookie" Williams has twice been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his books from death row warning children against the gang life that he led. More info. is at his website: http://www.tookie.com Also, for more info. on today's supreme court ruling, please see the previous message someone posted a few hours ago at: http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/10/1773885_comment.php#1773886
Finally, if you can't make today's UC Berkeley event, the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarians will be showing the movie, "Redemption", about Tookie's life, on Friday, Oct. 21, at 7:00 pm. Journalist Barbara Bechnel will lead the discussion afterwards on how we must save Tookie's life. The Berkeley Unitarian Hall is at: 1924 Cedar St. at Bonita Ave. in Berkeley.
