Freedom Riders

FREEDOM RIDERS is the powerful harrowing and ultimately
inspirational story of six months in 1961 that changed
America forever. From May until November 1961, more
than 400 black and white Americans risked their
lives--and many endured savage beatings and
imprisonment--for simply traveling together on buses
and trains as they journeyed through the Deep South.
Deliberately violating Jim Crow laws, the Freedom
Riders met with bitter racism and mob violence along
the way, sorely testing their belief in nonviolent
activism. Premiers on PBS May 16, 2011.

People of NYC vs. Koch

More than 500 New Yorkers rallied outside the David H.
Koch Theater for a Guerrilla Drive In movie featuring
songs, dances, popcorn and even a special guest
appearance by the NYPD. As New Yorkers save the arts
from David Koch, we're giving everyone a chance to
rename the Koch theater at

Amnesty International for Troy Davis

Troy Davis has faced execution three times for a crime
he may not have committed. In an unprecedented
evidentiary hearing held in a federal district court in
Savannah, Georgia in June, 2010, he was able to present
evidence supporting his innocence claim. However, the
standard for proving his innocence was "extraordinarily
high", especially given the lack of physical and
scientific evidence in his case. The federal judge
ruled that he did not meet the high standard, despite
the fact that doubts about his guilt remain unresolved.
While this ruling may be appealed, it is more important
than ever that we continue to let Georgia authorities
know that we oppose any effort to execute Troy Davis.
Sign the petition today! Chaz Guest, artist, paints
Troy Davis, "because I believe that I am Troy
Davis. We all are."
