Also, please use the tools—the event sign-in sheet to keep in touch with folks who come out, the fact sheet to educate them about the case, the petition and the handbill about the photo mosaic action. At all events, please take part in the photo mosaic action ("Lend Your Face for Justice"). Important: We want to be able to report how many events will be taking place to demonstrate the tremendous support. Please email dpac@aiusa.org to let us know if you will organize an ac-tivity. Please include the name of your community, the type of event and how others can join you (i.e. a contact name, email address, time and location of the activity).Available resources: For links and downloadable items, visit www.justicefortroy.orgNote: We are not calling for protests as the justice system has opened an important door to re-view the case. Activities should mark the eve of the hearing, when we will remain watchful and hopeful that the justice system will finally provide a fair process where testimony that has not yet been examined in a court of law will be properly heard. Therefore, please keep messages re-spectful in tone (e.g. "I am Troy Davis", "We are Troy Davis", "Georgia, the world is watching", "Fairness matters").As with all activities, please take advantage of the opportunity to educate people about Davis’s story, the larger system that it represents and the importance of abolishing the death penalty and the importance of becoming a member of AI to support this long term human rights.
