Texas Friends and Allies Against the Death Penalty
Several Texas anti-death penalty groups are jointly entered in the Jenzabar Social Media Leadership Award contest for $3,000. The winner is the entry that gets the most people to comment on their entry by April 30, so to “vote”, you leave a comment. We have a good chance to win this and we deserve to win because we have all used social media tools very effectively to jointly mobilize against the Texas death penalty. Scott COBB, TMN President
There is virtually NO social media tool left unused by the Texas Friends and Allies Against the Death Penalty!
This is how we manage to be in contact, to follow minute by minute the dreadful countdown before an execution, to mobilize people from all over the globe. This is done with little if no money, in a US state where executing a human being – guilty or innocent – receives a lot of financial and political support and benefits from extended press coverage. Social media tools are a blessing for families and friends of human beings currently on death row: to alert activists and to reveal major shameful cases, such as the current Sharon Keller impeachment trial, or the 200th execution under Gov. Perry.
The very fact that information now travels world-wide on the web seconds after an execution is one of the major tool against the Death Penalty we could ever dream of. The Texas Friends and Allies Against the Death Penalty have long understood the value of social media tools and made the best of their use. Please consider supporting them.
Thank you!
