Candlelight Vigil for Activists Killed on Gaza Freedom Flotilla - Austin
An overall weariness seems to have settled with Palestine solidarity
activists. The news of the attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla by
Israeli forces that came early Monday morning was far less shocking
among those who have kept up with Israel’s track record over the past
years than it should have been. Although the attack was in
international waters, on unarmed international civilians, and entirely
illegal, Israel’s war crimes are starting to become old news as the
Israeli government continues to get away with its abuses.

10th annual March to Abolish the Death Penalty
10/24/2009 Austin TX
Hundreds gather at the TX State Capitol to protest the Death Penalty. After so many people have been exhonerated it is unfathomable that this archaic practice still exists within our "justice" system. On Tuesday Oct. 27, 2009 Reginald Blanton will be murdered by the state unless Governor Rick Perry grants him a Stay of Execution. Call Governer Perry and tell him to stop this unconscienable practice today! Before another innocent person is murdered in your name.
