Texas executed 2 men this last week. They plan 3 more executions next week,
including 1 on December 10, International Human Rights Day.
Last week we protested and this week we will protest!
What will you be doing?
While people around the world will be observing
International Human Rights Day on December 10th , our state will be in the
middle of a killing spree, with 5 executions planned between December 3rd and
11th.
It is the greatest in hypocrisy for the US and Texas to talk about defending
human rights abroad when they are systematically violating human rights here at
home with the racist and anti-poor death penalty.
Join with us to tell the Governor "NO!"
Press Conference and Demonstration/Vigil
On International Human Rights Day
Wednesday December 10 from 5:15 to 6:30PM
At the Governor's Mansion(11th and Lavaca-downtown)
