An inmate on death row for 22 years, Williams was recently nominated for a Nobel Prize for his anti-violence children's books, and is the subject of a new movie, Redemption. Williams will address the audience via speakerphone from San Quentin prison at the start of the meeting.

Other Speakers include:

Todd Chretien of the Free Kevin Cooper Committee for a California Moratorium and the International Socialist Organization.

Tracy Rice of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition

On February tenth, activist pressure forced the ninth District Court of Appeals to grant a stay of execution for Kevin Cooper, an African-American who has been on death row for 18 years. Cooper's case shows everything that's wrong with the death penalty: it's racist, it targets the poor, and it's even used against innocent people. Come to this meeting to discuss how we can build a movement to stop all executions in California.

Sponsored by: Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, Death Penalty Focus, International Socialist Organization, National Lawyers Guild and California People of Faith Working Against the Death Penalty
