04.24.08 - Help Stop Nuclear Expansion
Southern Company continues to push its proposal to build two more reactors at Plant Vogtle along the Savannah River in Georgia. The people now have a chance to comment in person (or in writing) to the three-judge NRC panel known as the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that is overseeing the legal challenge to Vogtle.
Take action and tell the Board your concerns about Vogtle's proposed expansion, whether about water use, accident risks, security concerns, nuclear waste, health impacts or more. Speakers will have five minutes. See www.cleanenergy.org for more information on Vogtle.

04.22.08 - Troy Davis Denied New Trial
We have long opposed the death penalty, as an unfair, biased, and ineffective deterrent to crime. Despite striking evidence supporting his innocence, Georgia's own Troy Davis continues to face the death penalty. Amnesty International has been working on his case, seeking a fair trial and eventual amnesty. On Monday, March 17, 2008, the Georgia Supreme Court decided 4-3 to deny a new trial for Davis, which means Georgia may soon executie an innocent man.
INNOCENCE MATTERS: RALLY FOR TROY DAVIS!
Please join Amnesty International for a rally to demand that the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles prevent the execution of Troy Davis.
Saturday, May 17, 2008: 10:00am - 12:00pm
