Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison 11.20.24

Unless the U.S. Supreme Court issues a stay or Governor Ivey grants clemency Carey Grayson will be executed tomorrow by the state of Alabama. Weather permitting we will show our respect and solidarity for our brother by refraining from sports and wearing our dress whites for yard where we will observe moments of silence and prayer today and tomorrow as we did yesterday. We will gather in a circle sharing memories of Carey and praying that somehow he may find peace. Carey is not alone. Family and members of the Federal Defenders, his attorneys, are with him.

The petitions were delivered on Monday to the Governor after a rally on the steps of the Capitol. Tomorrow’s vigils are posted on our website www.phadp.org and on Facebook. You can join an online vigil with Death Penalty Action.

We thank all who contacted the Governor, signed the petition and let Alabama know that it does not kill in your name.

                                                             Be kind to each other!
