THOUSANDS TURN OUT FOR
THE GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION
FOR TROY DAVIS

Thousands of people across the country and around the world turned out in support of Troy Anthony Davis on May 19. Troy has been on Georgia’s death row for the past 17 years, professing his innocence.  Since his trial, evidence has surfaced that could prove his innocence, but the courts have not allowed a jury to hear these facts. Troy has faced down three execution dates and could soon face another. Public outcry has stopped each execution date.

We must keep up the pressure to win justice for Troy and to show why the death penalty needs to be abolished once and for all.
