Civil disobedience at governor's mansion to stop execution of Kenneth Foster
About 200 members of Kenneth Foster’s family, friends, and supporters rallied today in Austin to demand that Governor Rick Perry hear the Foster family’s pleas for clemency. In a dramatic turn, six activists sat down to block the gates of the Governor’s mansion in a physical demonstration of solidarity with Foster’s non-cooperation with the criminal justice system. In June 2000, a dozen activists were arrested during a similar protest of the execution of Gary Graham (a.k.a. Shaka Sankofa). In the face of the State’s unwillingness to engage the Foster family and other supporters, the crowd spread out across the street, blocking traffic for forty-five minutes.

Ferdowsi Teach-In Introduction by Prof. Michael Hillmann
Ferdowsi1000.com is devoted to the Persian language, Persian literature, and Iranian culture from the days of the Persian epic poet Ferdowsi onward. The siteâÂÂs name alludes to the fact that a thousand years have passed since Ferdowsi completed his famous verse redaction of Persian Iranian legends, myths, tales, and history called Shâhnâmeh [(The) Book of Kings]. Ferdowsi1000.com got its impetus from a Spring 2009 Persian literature seminar at The University of Texas at Austin called âÂÂFerdowsiâÂÂs Shâhnâmeh and the Epic Traditionâ and a conference held in conjunction with the seminar called âÂÂFerdowsi Teach-In at Texas.â In the Spring of 2010, a parallel Persian literature seminar on âÂÂRumi and the Sufi Traditionâ and a Rumi conference will take place. A Hâfez seminar and conference are in the works for the Spring of 2011. www.ferdowsi1000.com

Saturday, October 27th, 2007 Houston, Texas The March to Stop Executions has been held each October since 2000 in cooperation with several Texas and national anti-death penalty organizations, including Texas Moratorium Network, the Austin chapter of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty, the Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement, Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and Texas Students Against the Death Penalty. The first march was called the "March on the Mansion" and was held on October 15, 2000.

Clarence Brandley, who had been exonerated and released from death row in 1990 after spending nine years there, spoke at the 2003 march, saying "I was always wishing and hoping that someone would just look at the evidence and the facts, because the evidence was clear that I did not commit the crime."
