Georgia Death Row prisoner Troy Davis is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday, September 21 despite overwhelming doubts about his guilt. In light of this imminent execution date, Educators for Troy—a Chicago-based ad hoc group of educators, activists and artists—is calling on all educators to interrupt their regular teaching schedules this week to dedicate a class period to “Teach Troy.”

Wednesday is the first day of my zines-lit magazine-poetry-youth activism club, so I will definitely bring this up with my kids. We had sign ups for clubs today, and I was surprised by how many kids were into it, even though I couldn’t give them a concrete description of what we’ll be doing, since it’s up to them. But this is where we’ll start.
