“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 is asked to join in celebrating his life not simply by festivity but mainly by protest! Since TROY’s birthday fell on Sunday, and today was 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)
Get enough food to last for a week or more, shop at your local food suppliers, fill up your gas tank days ahead of time, and do NOT spend money on anything that requires paying local, state, or federal taxes.
3. Support or organize teach-ins, rallies, and town hall meetings in your area to discuss the case and how to continue the legacy of TROY DAVIS.
4. Flood local radio stations & newspapers with calls urging them to discuss the case of TROY ANTHONY DAVIS. Let them know that by refusing to do so, a boycott of their station will go into effect immediately.
5. Inform others about the “WE ARE STILL TROY DAVIS” National Boycott and General Strike
6. SUPPORT GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO KEEP THE LEGACY OF TROY ANTHONY DAVIS IN MOTION!
