Report: The Stanley Tookie Williams Campaign to Stop Legal Killing

Opposition to the death penalty is the policy of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, (NAACP) which all of its local units are bound to. Bruce Gordon, National President/CEO invited Alice Huffman, State President of the California NAACP to join him on a conference call at 10 am on November 8th, 2005 to discuss saving Stanley Tookie Williams from execution.

Two calls were held with Barbara Becnel, advocate, editor and friend of Stanley Tookie Williams, Rudy Langlias, producer of the film Redemption, Stanley’s attorneys and national staff. These calls triggered one of the most intense NAACP campaign against the death penalty that has been witnessed in recent years. The national NAACP, the State Conference and California local branches joined “The Save Stanley Tookie Williams Campaign” in full force to stop state killings.

The California NAACP has produced a report reviewing The Save Stanley Tookie Williams Campaign mounted in November and December of 2005. Click here to download the complete report (PDF).
