Christmas Cheer for Death Row Inmates
by John Little on 7/12/2006Blogs of War readers probably missed this holiday event:
Who: All are invited to come sign holiday cards—bring colorful pens!
What: Card signing for the 390 men and women on Texas death row
When: Tuesday, November 28 and Tuesday, December 5, from 6-10 PM
Where: S.H.A.P.E. Center, 3815 Live Oak in Houston’s Third Ward
Why: To let those on death row know they are remembered at the holiday season by abolitionists, family and friends.
Bring: A colorful writing instrument and some yummy food to share and join in the holiday fun, solidarity and sharing.

Behold the magic of Christmas:
