DETAILS ABOUT ONGOING ACTIONS ESPECIALLY RELEVANT TO HARRIS COUNTY FROM THE TOP OF THIS PAGE:

Death Penalty Vigils -- By June, 2007, the number of people executed under Gov. Perry's watch exceeded the number killed while George W Bush was governor (he has graduated summa cum culpae to more horrific killing fields). As of late October, 2007, Texas had killed 405 inmates, of which 102 came from Harris County (more than any other state; Virginia has killed 98. In the United States, the count is over 1000 since reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976. We now have a de facto moratorium on executions while the US Supreme Court ponders cruelty. (See Death Penalty Information Center.) In the past, whenever Texas planned to kill someone, abolitionists gathered from 5:30 - 6:20 p.m. on the day of each state execution. To learn about executions scheduled , see TDCJ and Texas Moratorium. Sponsored by Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement. and Amnesty International Group 23. See also www.texasmoratorium.org and see http://www.amnestyusa.org/abolish/ NB: Nationwide link to execution alerts: www.ncadp.org/execution_alerts.html

NOW in 2007, google "Rain Forest Action Network Houston" (I'll look it up for you sooner or later).
