DEATH ROW? HELL NO!

Stop the Execution of Kenneth Foster Thursday August 16 6PM

City Heights Rec Center

2 Blocks So. of University on Fairmount



Kenneth Foster was sent to Texas' death row at the age of 19 not for killing anyone, but for driving away after someone was killed. Set to be executed on August 30, 2007, Kenneth could be killed simply because, as the Austin Chronicle has put it, he was in "the wrong place at the wrong time." A national campaign made up of activists, as well as family and friends of Kenneth, is underway to try to stop this execution. You can help.



Not only is this case an egregious miscarriage of justice, it highlights some of the fundamental issues surrounding the death penalty, namely, racism and the broken criminal justice system. The death penalty is under increased scrutiny in California and across the nation and with continued pressure from activists, the death penalty can be abolished.



Come to a meeting of the ISO to examine the roots of legal lynching, explore the current state of the criminal injustice system, and begin to organize a local campaign to SAVE KENNETH FOSTER!
