URGENT — Call Ohio Governor Kasich today!
This morning the Ohio Parole Board recommended against granting clemency to Raymond Tibbetts. You may recall that this prisoner was granted a reprieve earlier this year when a juror from the original trial declared that he would not have voted for death if he had been given the horrific facts about the child abuse and addition issues suffered by Tibbetts. More details are here. Please call Governor Kasich right now at 614–466–3555 and ask him to restore faith in our institutions and confidence in the courts by granting clemency to Ray Tibbetts. Thanks!

Come! It takes dozens of dedicated Abolitionists to maintain our presence on the sidewalk in front of the US Supreme Court. It’s not just holding signs — we engage with THOUSANDS of tourists, students, Capitol Hill workers and the media. There’s no better way to meet and really get to know fellow abolitionists from across the country. Everyone is welcome to attend.
This event is sponsored by the all-volunteer, ad-hoc, Abolitionist Action Committee (AAC), with organizing and logistics support from Death Penalty Action. Especially if you cannot be there, we invite you to help make it happen:
- See the list of dozens of individuals and organizations who are official Starvin’ for Justice sponsors, and join them, here.

More soon. Thank you! Yours in the Struggle,
— Scott & Abe
