The George Board of Pardons and Paroles on Tuesday denied clemency for Troy Anthony Davis today. This video shows highlights of a rally held by Students Against Mass Incarceration (SAMI) at Howard University in support of Troy Davis as one part of the International Day of Action on September 16, 2011. Student involvement in the case has been especially strong.

Please take a moment and call Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm at 912-652-7308 and ask that he withdraw the death warrant.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.

The Nation Founded by abolitionists in 1865, The Nation has chronicled the breadth and depth of political and cultural life, from the debut of the telegraph to the rise of Twitter, serving as a critical, independent, and progressive voice in American journalism.
