We just learned that we will be permitted to hold the press conference just inside the prison grounds, the location where we hold our vigils. Please see below for updated information and we hope to see you tomorrow!
Friends,
We have some exciting news to share with you: tomorrow, Friday, Troy Davis will be visited by Congressmen John Lewis and Hank Johnson as well as the Ben Jealous, the president of the NAACP. It is very significant that these folks would take time out of their extremely busy schedules to trek to Georgia's death row to meet Troy, and I am confident this action will help to focus even more national attention on the injustices abound in Troy's case.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!! This delegation will be holding a press conference immediately after leaving the prison and have asked that Georgians who support Troy be present for it.
Please join us for a press conference at Georgia's Death Row - the Georgia Diagnostics & Classifications Prison (directions below) on Friday May 29 at 12:45pm to stand with the Congressmen and with Troy!
We hope to see you there. With hope,
Sara
Directions from Atlanta:
On I-75, take exit 201 and turn east off of the exit ramp (left if you're heading south)
Go one light down and turn left - the entrance is very close to the prison and right off the main road.
There are two truck stops on the opposite side from the prison just off the interstate.
