The Abolitionist Action Committee is holdingit's 10th Annual Fast & Vigil, Starvin' For Justice, on the sidewalk outside the Supreme Court in Washington from June 29 to July 2, 2003. You don't have to fast to attend.

The purpose of this event is to maintain a presence at SCOTUS between the dates of the anniversaries of when the death penalty was ruled unconstitutional in practice in 1972, and when new laws were upheld in 1976. Much of the time is spent talking to individuals and educating people about the death penalty. Several larger events are held at key times during the event to highlight specific concerns.

The Fast & Vigil takes place on the sidewalk in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, considered by many to be the heart of the legalized killing machines in this country. In addition to the strong public witness, this is an excellent opportunity to meet other abolitionists and to "recharge your batteries" while engaging in public outreach and maintaining a physical presence at the Court.
