this afternoon FUSE was launched by the Tennessee Coalition to Abolish State Killing's associate director alex wiesendanger... FUSE stands for Families United to Stop Executions ... it's goal is to train and empower - in a safe space - family members of death row inmates top advocate for themselves within the political sphere to abolish the death penalty ... the theme is "ending our silence to stop the violence..."
the initial mailing has gone out to the 103 men and women on tennessee's death row asking them to send us contact information for family members who they would like to hook up with other inmate's family members ... again, this is to empower them to advocate within the political sphere rather than the criminal justice sphere ... the joint signatory with alex is joyce house whose son paul gregory house has been on death row for 20 years ... his case went national last fall when the 6th circuit lost their freakin' minds ...
let us know what you think...
peace out -
<3
