Belly of the Beast: The Struggle for Abolition in Texas

Friends and Fellow Abolitionists,

The Austin chapter of Campaign to End the Death Penalty invites you to
attend our first large public meeting of the new school year. The
event will take place during our usual weekly meeting time, at 7pm, on
Monday, September 18th, in NOA 1.116 on the UT campus.
The title for the evening is "Belly of the Beast: The Struggle for
Abolition in Texas," and will feature some great speakers.

Speakers include:

1. Rob Owen - law professor and director of the Capitol Punishment
Clinic at the UT Law School
2. Delia Perez Meyer - sister of death row inmate Louis Castro Perez
and longtime advocate for many others on death row
3. Jayson Thomas - member of the Austin chapter of CEDP

You won't want to miss this. We'd also appreciate you passing this
information onto friends and others who might be interested in joining
the fight for abolition. Last week's press conference and march to
the Court of Criminal Appeals on behalf of Rodney Reed was a huge
success, and our goal is to continue building momemtum for the
abolition movement in Texas. But we can't do it alone. WE NEED YOUR
HELP!

Again, the event starts at 7pm. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
