xxxxx, our efforts to save Troy Davis are making a tremendous impact.

Across the nation and throughout the world, support for Troy continues to build. Media outlets from CNN to the Huffington Post are telling his story, one of a man set to be executed next week despite seven of the nine original witnesses recanting their testimony or changing their stories, and no physical evidence linking him to the crime.

Earlier today, we delivered more than 660,000 petition signatures to the Georgia Board of Pardons & Paroles in support of halting Troy's execution and granting him clemency. It was a powerful moment for those who took part, and one that we hope will have a profound impact on the members of the Board when they meet to decide Troy's fate on Monday.

Thank you so much for volunteering your time and your voice to stand up for Troy Davis and for justice. But Troy's execution is still scheduled for September 21st, and we will be working around the clock to do everything we can to save his life. I know that we'll be able to count on you to continue the fight over the next few days.

I'll be in touch to let you know the latest on Troy's fight for justice.

Thank you,

Charles
