Hi everyone,
As many of you may already know, the execution for John Ferguson is scheduled for this coming Monday, August 5th at 6pm at the prison in Strake, FL. (For more information and to take action online, click following link http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=6oJCLQPAJiJUG&b=6645049&aid=520181). With help from the national Amnesty International Death Penalty Abolition Campaign and the new Amnesty International Florida Death Penalty Abolition Campaign, we are planning a trip to the prison to participate in the vigil. The prison is approximately 2.5 hours away from Orlando. We would leave Orlando around 230pm and return around 930pm. A van will be rented to accommodate about 12 people. If you are available and interested in joining us, please let me know as soon as possible due to the limited seating. Please note that the trip is being funding by the campaign so there is no cost to join us. Additional information will be available for those who confirm.
Because this will conflict will our regular monthly meeting, that meeting will be postponed. I’m waiting on confirmation from the Mark Street Senior Center to see if they can accommodate us on a different night that week. We are doing our best to reschedule the August meeting (instead of cancelling it) due to the amount of planning we need to discuss for upcoming events between now and the end of the year.
If you have any questions about the trip or the August meeting, please feel free to email or call me.
In Solidarity,
Alicia Koutsoulieris
