October 23 CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA (Harrisburg)
Major demonstration at State Capitol, 12 noon
Contact: Kurt Rosenberg, 215-724-6120 (innocencetour@aol.com)
"From Death Row to Freedom: Voices of Innocence" will convene on the steps of
the State Capitol in Harrisburg, joined by hundreds of citizens from across
the Commonwealth to demand that Gov. Mark Schweiker impose an immediate
moratorium on executions in Pennsylvania. Starting at noon on October 23 (the
two-year anniversary of William Nieves' release from death row), there will
be speeches, music and, most important, the testimony of several men who
spent nearly two decades in prison for crimes they did not commit, waiting to
be killed by the government before their convictions were overturned. This
major demonstration will conclude the two-week "From Death Row to Freedom"
tour, which will travel to every part of the state, bearing witness against
the death penalty (see schedule below).
Your presence in Harrisburg on October 23 is critical as we send a resounding
message to Pennsylvania's leaders that blatant abuses of human rights will
not be tolerated. The Voices of Innocence need your support as they take
their message directly to the Governor. Please join them, and try to
encourage as many people as possible to stand behind these courageous
individuals. Consider sending a bus, vans and carpools to the Capitol -- and
forward this message to anyone who might be interested in joining us for what
will prove to be a memorable day for anti-death penalty activists in
Pennsylvania.
