Reminder: Vigil against execution at 5 tomorrow (Wed) at Ulmerton and 49th

People will gather in over a dozen vigils and protests around Florida to oppose the execution of Darryl Barwick on Wednesday.

•  The Tampa Bay area vigil will be at the northwest corner of Ulmerton Road and 49th Street North in mid-Pinellas County at 5:00-6:00 PM tomorrow (Wednesday, May 3).

Park in the vacant lot behind Checkers.  We will provide signs.  Those who are interested will gather for dinner after the vigil.

•  Please make sure you have signed and shared Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP)’s petition to stay the execution of Darryl Barwick.  This petition provides details of Barwick’s horrific, abusive childhood. For faith leaders, please sign and share FADP’s Faith Leader Sign-on Letter for Darryl.

•  You can also contact Governor Ron DeSantis at (850) 488-7146 or email the Governor (flgov.com). Prepare for your call or email with FADP’s excellent Florida Death Penalty Fact Sheet, a summary of reasons to oppose executions in Florida.
