UPDATED: George White of the JOH to speak in Modena Italy on November 23rd

FIND MORE DETAILS (from Katia) at the end of this post!

Please get out the word on this event sent by Katia Rabacchi to all your contacts in Europe - especially Italy - and other folk as well:

(There is an event) against the death penalty that we will hold on November 23rd in Modena, Italy. We'll start with a conference at 6 pm where George White of the Journey of Hope will speak about his own experience of being a victim family member who opposes the death penalty and at the same time a man who was wrongfully accused of murder.

After the conference we'll have a night full of music, dance and art!!!

During the event, money will be raised to finance the "Tei-Jay Foundation" project: an organization that wants to help the children with imprisoned parents and ghetto kids, to give them a chance for a better life.

Please spread the word and...we'll wait for you (if you can be present!).

Love and peace,
Katia

UPDATE:

Hello Connie,

the event will be held at La Tenda in Modena, Italy. it will be n event specifically against the death penalty and to educate people on this topic that many times is seen as something so far in Italy.
Everything will start at 6 pm with the conference. Multimedial tools will be used for the conference to not be too ordinary. Music, pictures and videos will lead the public into death row reality and will serve as introduction to our guest. We will hear the testimony of George White from the Journey of Hope...a man that not only is a victim family member (he lost his wife due to murder) but he also knows what it means to be on the other side of the walls (he was wrongfully accused of his wife's slaying).

After the conference, the event will go on with concerts by local bands (Padre Gutierrez, Flexus and SuperSonicDeadMonkeys) and performances by 2 dance crews: BlakSoulz Dance Crew and Capital Punishment crew.
All the artists will perform for free to support the cause and help spreading a message of non-violence.

During the event, a fundraising will be set up. All the funds will be devolved to the Tei-Jay Foundation project in Texas. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide ghetto kids and kids with imprisoned parents all the necessary tools (especially school supplies, uniforms, school books) to have a better chance in life.

hope this is good!!
