“Hit ‘em Where It Hurts!”
On Sunday, October 9, 2011 TROY ANTHONY DAVIS would have celebrated is 43rd birthday had he not been murdered on September 21st by the State of Georgia. Everyone nationwide is asked to join in celebrating his life not simply by festivity but mainly by protest! Since TROY’s birthday falls on a Sunday, and the next day (the 10th) is Columbus Day, a nationwide boycott will commemorate his life on Tuesday, October 11th.
Things That You Can Do to Get Involved Include:
1. JOIN THE GENERAL STRIKE on Oct. 11th: NO Work, NO School, NO Play!
Do not send your children to school, take off work/school and encourage others to do the same on Tuesday October 11, 2011 in honor of TROY DAVIS.
2. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS DATE (October 11, 2011)
