Local News and Announcements... Don't miss anything...please scroll downStarvin' for JusticePlease join other concerned citizens holding two solidarity, "Starvin' for Justice" vigils on Tuesday, 1 July: in Columbia from 5:00- 6:00 p.m. at the Boone County courthouse and in Kansas City from 4:45- 5:45p.m. in front of the JC Nichols fountain in the plaza area downtown. The Western Missouri Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (WMCADP), Mid-Missouri Fellowship of Reconcilation and Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty (MADP) will be co-sponsoring Tuesday's local events. Folks will be gathering in solidarity with participants of a four-day fast which will be held at the U.S. Supreme Court, June 29- July 2. The high court ruled the death penalty to be unconstitutional on June 29, 1972, with the Furman court decision, and then upheld revised state death-penalty laws constitutional on July 2, 1976 through the Gregg decision. The WMCADP and Mid-MO FOR encourage you to fast anytime during that four-day period, especially during the day Tuesday. Many people in St. Louis, the Columbia-Jefferson City area, in Pittsburg, among other places have already committed to fasting Tuesday. We usually hold Vigils for Life on Tuesdays as Missouri officials typically set execution times for the opening moments of Wednesdays, just after midnight. We will have literature on hand at the vigils drawing attention to the DC fast, the Supreme Court decisions being remembered, the Wiggins decision, and individuals executed in Missouri who likely would have been spared had this decision come years ago (In Wiggins decision, released on Thursday, the justices ruled the defendant had his constitutional rights violated when his attorney failed to investigate and present to juries during his captial trials, evidence of the horrific abuse he suffered as a child-- mitigating evidence which could have swayed jurors to chose "life" instead of death). We hope you will join us and many other folks around the country this next week, Starvin' for Justice. Email this:
