Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has delayed Albert Greenwood Brown execution by nearly two days. Brown is now scheduled to die by lethal injection at 9 p.m. Thursday. He initially was scheduled for execution at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.

Join us on Thursday evening, September 30th:
Oppose the Dysfunctional Death Penalty in California!
RALLY & VIGIL AT 6:00PM at the EAST GATE OF SAN QUENTIN PRISON
As Buddhists have done for more than 15 years, please join us to sit together in silence while the rally is in progress

Check www.clearviewproject.org for last minute information and details.

Please let me know if you are planning to attend.

The California Department of Corrections (CDCR) is pushing forward plans to execute Albert Brown on September 30th at 9pm, despite the fact that there are still many unresolved legal issues related to lethal injection in California. Death Penalty Focus, along with California People of Faith Working Against the Death Penalty, and Clear View Project take the position that CDCR’s actions are hasty and harmful to victims’ families who are being put through a legal roller coaster ride.

Many of the legal issues surrounding this execution may not be resolved until the last minute, so we have to move forward with plans to oppose this execution. The death penalty in California is dysfunctional, costly, plagued with inaccuracies, applied in a racially biased manner, and inconsistent with the evolving standards of decency.

For last minute information about the status of the proposed execution of Albert Brown, check the Clear View Project website, which I will update on late afternoon Tuesday.

For the rally and vigil park on Francisco Blvd. E. but expect to walk 1-1.5 Miles to get to the East Gate of San Quentin.

• Wear good shoes for walking.
• Bring cushions and blankets for sitting.
• Please bring lots of warm clothing with you, it can get very cold. Bring lots of water and snacks.
• Bring a flashlight or candles.
• Bring a trash bag, so we can mindfully clean up after ourselves at the vigil’s conclusion.
