AUSTIN, TEXAS WILL HOST THE 2005 NCADP ANNUAL CONFERENCE

In January 2004, TMN's Scott Cobb wrote and submitted a proposal to the NCADP board of directors asking that they bring the 2005 conference to Austin. TMN then asked people on our email list to contact the Board members of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and ask them to bring the NCADP Annual Conference to Austin. In an impressive showing of our grassroots strength, many, many people contacted NCADP about the conference. We heard back from D.C. that

"The NCADP Board is impressed with the Texas proposal -- and with the extraordinary level of grassroots support behind it."

Please send an email to the NCADP Board of Directors (through David Elliot, NCADP Communications Director) thanking them for inviting Texas to host the 2005 conference.

We would also like to thank David personally for his help in pressing our case to the Board of Directors and for forwarding so many emails from the Texas anti-death penalty grassroots community.

David's email is delliot@ncadp.org
