Renowned author Corinna Barrett Lain was in Alabama last week and spoke at different venues. I quote one of her texts to me just to affirm in these dark hours that change is possible. ” a woman stayed after and said she almost cried hearing my testimony, and she is a former prosecutor and she changed her mind about the death penalty being okay right then and there!”
We had a productive zoom meeting with Alabama Friends and thank the organizer!
We thank all who are working so hard and diligently to stop all killing in Alabama! And as always in closing, we thank all our generous donors who either gave by going to our website and using the “donate” button or who gave directly. Thank you also to all who took the time to read our notes, commented, liked and shared them on Facebook. Stay safe and be kind to each other!
