    Write for Rights begins this Saturday. Will you write a letter to save a
life?     
  Dear Judith,
 
 Black man. White murder victims. No physical evidence. Sentenced to death
despite massive doubts. Sound familiar?
 
 This is Reggie Clemons. Like Troy Davis before him, Reggie has been in
prison for 20 years, waiting for his home state to end his life.
 
 From the investigation to the trial to the appeals process, issues of
unfairness plague Reggie's case. Two young women tragically lost their
lives, but we cannot be sure that Reggie was responsible for their deaths.
He has been sentenced to death for a crime he may not have committed.
 
 Amnesty is fighting for clemency for Reggie, just as we did for Troy, and
today our movement is swelling.
 
 Rally for Reggie during Amnesty International's Write for Rights Global
Write-a-thon. Don't wait - this event begins on Saturday, Dec. 3, less than
a week from now.
 
 Yes, I'll pledge to write a letter for Reggie and for other urgent cases!
Sign me up - and count my letters toward your 250,000 letter goal.

 During Write for Rights we're shining a light on 15 priority cases,
including Reggie's. Each one of these cases represents an individual or
group suffering human rights abuses. Several are at imminent risk of death
or terrible mistreatment.
 
 Reggie himself faces a hearing early next year that could mean the
difference between life and death. Your letters may help push Missouri
authorities to make the right decision to spare Reggie's life.
 
 Our Write for Rights campaign has saved lives before by generating floods
of letters that governments can't ignore.
 
 We cannot be silent when injustice is all around us. Reggie and other Write
for Rights cases - from Shin Sook-ja and other women, men, and children held
in North Korea's notorious Yodok political prison camp, to the residents
facing imminent eviction from their homes in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, to
China's imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo - need you to raise
your voice.
 
 Pledge to write letters of hope on your own, or host an event at your home,
church, school, library or community center. More letters mean more impact,
and every single letter counts.
 
 Will you write a letter to save a life? Sign up now to Write for Rights!
