because, as we say, "lest they not believe that they have been forgotten,"...back in november we signed up to participate in amnesty international's annual write-a-thon which takes place on or near december 10th every year - international human rights day ... we pledged to write 40 letters that day to prisoners of conscience or people, regardless of their actions, who are the targets of human rights violations...
on thursday december 12th rosa and i met at jj's market near vanderbilt and between the 2 of us wrote nearly 50 holiday cards of hope...local member betsy asked for the addresses of the prisoners of conscience who had been targted to receive cards so we believe that we wrote at least 60 cards matching our pledge and then another 50% ... and maybe more!
we sent cards to 25 of the men on tennessee's death row as well as the people whose cases are mentioned here...
what did you do???
peace out <3
