SAVE KENNETH FOSTER, JR. !

INNOCENT MAN FACES EXECUTION ON AUGUST 30

The State of Texas intends to execute Kenneth Foster on August 30, despite the fact that he did not murder anyone. Unlike any other state in this country, Texas utilizes a unique statute which allows the State to subject a person to death even though he did not kill, intend to kill, help or encourage anyone to do so.

RALLY AT THE TEXAS CAPITOL IN AUSTIN
SATURDAY, JULY 21, 5:00 PM

Join Kenneth’s family, friends, and supporters for a march and rally with speakers, live music and food to demand that Texas does not go through with the execution. Your voice is needed to send a message that the people of Texas will not stand for this injustice. Gather at 5:00 PM at the south steps of the Texas State Capitol. Rally at the Capitol to be followed by a march to the Governor’s Mansion. Speakers and performers TBA soon.
