We had a conference call tonight with the groups that work on the annual March to Stop Executions and decided unanimously to hold next year’s “8th Annual March to Stop Executions” in Houston instead of Austin where it has been the last seven years. More people have been executed from Houston than any other city in the U.S. If Harris County, which contains Houston, were a state, it would rank third behind Texas and Virginia in number of executions.
The date for next year’s march in Houston is October 27, 2007, which is the last weekend in October.
