Friends,
We are sad to announce that the State of Alabama took the life of Jamie Mills tonight despite factually supported innocence claims.
Our thoughts are with Jamie’s family, his attorneys and his many friends on death row at Holman.
We thank all of you who wrote, faxed, tweeted and called the Governor to let her know that Alabama does not kill in our name. We thank everyone who organized and attended vigils around the state and who joined with us from abroad. We thank Death Penalty Action, Amnesty International, AL state Conference of the NAACP, Alabama Arise, Alabama New South Coalition, San Egidio in Rome, Witness to Innocence, the Evangelical Network of EJUSA, L’Chaim! Jews Against the Death Penalty, Faith In Action Alabama and of course the Rev. Jeff Hood for how they stood with us. We also thank the Alabama organizations who sent out information. As always, we especially thank our sister organization JAM in Birmingham.
R.I.P, Jamie! We love you and we will not forget!
Esther and the Board of Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty
