URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
The state of Georgia has set Troy Davis's execution date for midnight on September 21st, just two weeks from today.
Troy Davis is on death row for the 1989 murder of a police officer in Savannah, GA. Troy has always maintained his innocence, and there was never any physical evidence linking him to the crime.
Seven out of the nine non-police witnesses have since recanted or changed their testimony, some citing police intimidation. A judge labeled his own ruling as "not ironclad" and the original prosecutor has voiced reservations about Davis's guilt. New witnesses have come forth identifying another suspect.
Despite this, the state of Georgia has signed his 4th death warrant.
See below for actions you can take from the Troy Davis campaign, National Coalition Against the Death Penalty, Amnesty International, and NAACP.

The day is now here - the state of Georgia has set
Troy Davis'
execution date for
September 21st,
just two weeks from
today. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his final appeal earlier this year. But the story remains the same - Troy Davis could very well be innocent. However, in the state of Georgia, the Board of Pardons & Paroles holds the keys to Troy's fate. In the days before Davis' execution, this Board will hold a final clemency hearing - a final chance to prevent Troy Davis from being executed. Davis was convicted on the basis of witness testimony - seven of the nine original witnesses have since recanted or changed their testimony. One witness said in a CNN news interview "If I knew then, what I know now, Troy Davis would not be on death row." I know it's difficult to believe that a system of justice could be so terribly flawed, but keep in mind that Troy has survived three previous execution dates, because people like you kept the justice system in check! We've been bracing for this moment and the time for action is now! Here's what you can do to join the fight:
Thank you for fighting for Troy,

An execution date for Troy Davis has been set, but an execution is NOT inevitable.
