Tražite pomilovanje Troya Davisa


Troyu Davisu prijeti pogubljenje u američkoj saveznoj državi Georgiji unatoč tome što ne postoje čvrsti dokazi da je on odgovoran za ubojstvo policajca za koje je osuđen. 7 od 9 svjedoka povuklo je ili proturječilo svojim iskazima, nije pronađeno oružje kojim je policajac ubijen i ne postoje fizički dokazi koji bi Davisa povezivali sa zločinom. Unatoč tome osuđen je na smrt, a Odbor za pomilovanja u državi Georgiji odbio mu je ublažiti kaznu.

Na linku možete guverneru Georgije poslati poruku kojom tražite da ublaži Davisovu smrtnu kaznu i spriječi njegovo pogubljenje.

Potrebno je upisati (*) ime, prezime, adresu, grad, (saveznu državu ako živite u SAD-u ili) na kraju odaberite Not in USA, poštanski broj, zemlju, e-mail adresu.

Volunteer and Study Arabic in Palestine!
You've seen them on the news. But what do you really know about them? What do Palestinians do for fun? What do they eat? What do they think of the outside world? What is daily life like under military occupation? What you've seen on the news is only half the story. Palestine Summer Encounter (PSE) is a one, two, or three month service learning and cultural immersion program in Bethlehem, Palestine. Participants study Arabic in and outside of the classroom setting, live with a Palestinian host family, meet with both Israeli and Palestinian NGOs and peacemakers and volunteer with one of thirty-seven participating nonprofits and organizations.

Latin America Breaks Free
This unified bloc is effectively replacing Washington's presence in the region, from military training grounds to diplomatic meetings. In varying degrees, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Venezuela are demonstrating that the days of U.S.-backed coups, gunship diplomacy, and Chicago Boys' neoliberalism may very well be over for South America.
