Sunday, December 8th at 3:00PM EST, the story of Troy Davis will be performed in New York City by people who have been directly impacted by the death penalty, mass incarceration, state and racial violence. I Am Troy Davis (by Phil Montgomery, based on the book by Jen Marlowe and Martina Davis-Correia with Troy Davis) tells the story of Troy Davis, an innocent man executed in Georgia in 2011. Check out the performance via livestream: www.donkeysaddle.org
Donkeysaddle Projects is producing I Am Troy Davis in partnership with Amnesty International USA, Blackbird, Death Penalty Action, the Jordan Davis Foundation, Legal Defense Fund, the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation, the People’s Forum, Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, and Witness to Innocence. The performance draws connections between capital punishment and wider systems of state and racial violence and will be followed by a community discussion with the family members of those who have been impacted.
