A New CEDP Tour: Live From Death Row!
Fall 2008/Spring 2009
 
 
 "These are America's condemned, who bear a stigma far worse than 'prisoner.' These are America's death row residents: men and women who walk the razor's edge between half-life and
certain death."—Mumia Abu-Jamal, Live From Death Row
 
This fall the CEDP is launching a national tour, "Live From Death Row," featuring the voices of death row prisoners, live from their prison cell. Death sentences de-humanize the condemned, justifying the state-sponsored murder of the poor, the innocent and people of color. Death rows isolate those sentenced to die, denying them human contact and hope for justice. In our "Live From Death Row" tour, the voices of death row prisoners will reach from behind the walls to share their stories of loss, injustice, struggle, and hope for an end to the death penalty. At a time when the national chorus against the death penalty continues to grow, these voices are critical for the movement on the outside.

The tour features death row prisoners speaking live over speaker-phone.
 
$5 suggested donation for admission (free of charge for CEDP convention attendees). No one will be turned away for
lack of funds.
