Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison 2.5.25
Unless Governor Whitmer demands Demetrius’ return to Michigan or the U.S. Supreme Court issues a stay or Governor Ivey grants clemency Demetrius Frazier 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 on Tuesday, today and tomorrow. We will gather in a circle sharing memories of Demetrius and praying that somehow he may find peace. Demetrius is not alone. Family and members of the Federal Defenders, his attorneys, are with him. We are grateful for that as we know Demetrius is.
The petitions were delivered on Tuesday by members of our organization to the Governor after a rally on the steps of the Capitol and we thank all who participated, 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 petitions and let Alabama know that it does not kill in your name.
Be kind to each other!
Esther
