I admit it. I love election nights. Watching the results come in, even when they don’t go as you mght hope, is an exciting thing. We had us some elections here in Tennessee yesterday. Now the big ones that all the news has focused on are the unsurprising results in the primaries for U.S. Senate and Governor, although there really wasn’t much question as to the outcome in either of those. But there were some local elections that were certainly of interest to us here in TCASK (mostly to me, since I’m the poor shlub who has to meet all of these folks up on the hill). And the good news is that the primaries turned out well for us.

I was particularly disturbed by the fact that two of our closest allies in the house, Larry Turner (Memphis), sponsor of the abolition legislation, and Beverly Marrero (Memphis), sponsor of the moratorium legislation, were both being challenged in the primary. These are two of the most moral leaders, and nicest people, I have ever encountered, and I am glad to say that both soundly defeated their challengers. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Another House race that was of interest was the race for the seat representing district 54, right here in Nashville. This seat was held by Edith Langster, a supporter of the moratorium legislation, but she was challenged by Nashville City Council woman Brenda Gilmore. With no Republican contesting the seat in November, the winner of the primary becomes the representative. Well, as many of you probably know, Edith Langster was defeated by a wide margin yesterday. This might seem disheartening to some, but, after doing a little research, you would discover that Brenda Gilmore sponsored the moratorium resolution that the Metro Council passed in 2002. So really, for us abolitionists, this race was a win-win.

The final race that I’ve been watching with interest is that for the 15th Senate district, currently represented by Charlotte Burks. Burks replaced her husband Tommy Burks after he was murdered by his election opponent, and was being challenged in the Democratic primary with no Republican challenger that I know of. Senator Burks has championed victims’ rights legislation and understands the pain that the death penalty process can cause to victims’ families. We hope to work more closely with her in the future and are glad to have the opportunity.

Now obviously, there were a lot of elections yesterday, 116 legislative seat, plus the Gubernatorial primaries and judicial elections, and I won’t do you all the disservice of reviewing each and every one of them. I simply wanted to outline a few races that we’ve been watching with interest and let you know that they came out pretty well. Now for us, it’s time to start planning out our work for 2007 when the new session starts, because it’s in this session that we aim to actually pass moratorium and study legislation and give our state policy-makers this information that they need to move away from an immoral, costly, and ineffective public policy.

There isn’t anything you can’t order online anymore. Remedies like Deltasone ordinarily is used to treat diseases such as eye problems. Glucocorticoids naturally occurring steroids, which are easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. There are varied drugs for every conditions. Cialis is a remedy prescribed to treat many illnesses. What do you already know about long term side effects of cialis? What consumers talk about how long does it take for cialis to take effect?

Sexual problems mostly signal deeper problems: low libido or erectile malfunction can be the symptom a strong heartiness problem such as soul trouble.

lemme say right out that this is not about the dedicated volunteer, or going the extra mile, or stretching resources to “git ‘er done” as the lil’ jesuit dude likes to say…

nope – this is about honest to goodness passion, the personal connection, yeah – i’m talkin’ about love…

here’s the scoop – two people might never have met, fell in love, and gotten engaged if it hadn’t been for tcask and their mutual opposition to the death penalty…

he had been volunteering his graphic design work to tcask for over a year — she was the vice president of the mtsu tcask chapter in murfreesboro …. both made major contributions to our work and mission…they had never met…

then came justice day on the hill in late march … he came to shoot pictures for tcask — she came to lobby as part of the contingent organized by board chair amy staples…

they both knew me and went with me to pick up our 60 sack lunches from kijiji coffeehouse on jefferson street…she asked him if she could buy him lunch and handed him a brown paper sack lunch with a water (which tcask had paid for, of course!)…

they had their first date the next night and have been seeing each other since … she moved to knoxville for the summer due to being smitten with adoration for him and he proposed to her on july 16th, 2006 at which point she belted out a very loud “yes!”

she has a beautiful ring and their plans are for her to finish a degree in criminal justice at mtsu and for him to move closer to her … he will study photography, continue doing his fine art and
curating d/a 73 gallery + imprint online….

congratulations to ginger and wright!!!! and that’s the true story of the passion o’ abolition…

peace out <3

Just over a month ago, the state of Tennessee murdered Sedley Alley to show that the murder of Suzanne Marie Collins, some twenty years before, had been wrong. The state’s return to executions wounded many of us, as our tax dollars, and our tacit approval (as citizens of Tennessee) made the execution possible. And so, last Friday, on the one month anniversary of Alley’s execution, we held a community healing service on the grounds of Holy Name Catholic Church (where the TCASK office is located). We came together, sang songs, read prayers, and shared our own experiences and emotions since the event.

We also planted a survivor tree, a sapling grown from the seed of the tree outside the Federal Building in Oklahoma City that survived the bombing in 1994. The Oklahoma tree was blown sideways and lost many of its limbs to the blast, but survived and still stands as a tribute to life. Our tree is planted in that same spirit, in the wake of tragedy, recognizing our commitment to the power of love, reconciliation, and life over death.

The first reading shared on Friday was an excerpt of Bud Welch (whose daughter Julie was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing and who now speaks out nationally against the death penalty). We also heard the words of Pope John Paul II, the Koran, Mahatma Ghandi, and a number of other leaders and faith traditions. The words of Ghandi spoke to me very powerfully:

capacity building is a core concept that any advocacy non-profit must grapple with if it is to succeed in fulfilling its mission and tcask is no exception…

and capacity building is a broad concept that may include board development, financial resources, strategic planning, physical infrastructure, and that which this blog is about – human resources…

tcask, as a non-profit organization, has gone through 3 distinct developmental stages to date:

• initially there was an all volunteer organization, with minimal budget, when a network was attempting to forge itself into an organization…
• an initial infusion of $$$ interacting with the 1999 journey of hope left in its wake a set of chapter affiliates, and a state office with a single staff person…
• a process of organizational professionalization led to an ever growing communication network, revenue diversification, and long-term strategic planning – still with a single staff person to process these changes…

the current developmental stage focuses on the capacity to enact and carry out a campaign that supports the goals of the organizational strategic plan…specifically building a staff capable of doing the day-to-day work that will result in a victory that moves tcask closer to achieving its end game goal…

to that end alex wiesendanger (aka the lil’ jesuit dude) came on board last august as the associate director and as a capable field organizer and strategist…alex will continue his work with tcask for another year after his jesuit volunteer year ends a couple of weeks from now…

and now for the sneak preview i alluded to – the 3rd tcask staff position has now been defined … my role will become more development/administrative while my organizing activities become more strategic and laserlike…

here’s the job description in advance of our public rollout just for you loyal readers…if you or someone you know is interested in the position have them send a cover letter, their resume, references, letters of recommendation, and a writing sample (3-5 pages) to randy tatel or fax it to 615-256-3907…here’s the job description (including capital letters!) … peace out <3

In a few hours, we will begin our community healing service to remember the execution of Sedley Alley, one month ago. In doing so, we recognize that homicide tears apart relationships. From the one single act, pain spreads outwards, like ripples on a pond. Those closest to the victim, both Suzanne Marie Collins and Sedley Alley, are the most directly effected, but the ripple touches us all. Because when the state kills, each and every one of us is a party to the action.

So, even as it threatens to rain, we will be gathering in community with one another, to share and to understand our loss. I have decided that it will not rain, but if someone isn’t listening to me, we do have a tent and we will go forward anyway.

I hope to see many of you there.

As organizers, as activists for social justice, as people, we are all busy. Our schedules are full of meetings, talks, information gathering, grant writing, blogging, press releases, conducting trainings, locating outreach targets, and just doing the administrative tasks that keep an organization afloat. So sometimes we forget to examine how we do things within the organization or how we are functioning. We’re so busy trying to get everything done that we focus almost exclusively on the external. How many new members do we need to recruit? What legislative districts do we need to target? What message do we need to put out to the media?

So today, it was nice to take a step away from the external. Randy Tatel (our E.D.), Amy Staples (TCASK Board Chair), and I attended an all day workshop, “Making Your Board Effective.” Now we got a lot of interesting perspective, new tools, and peer feedback, but for me, the most important part of the day was simply the opportunity to set aside time to think, not about how TCASK was affecting the Tennessee community, but about how TCASK internal mechanisms are functioning. Truly focusing only on the boards functioning and the relationship between board and staff offered a chance to assess what we need to improve upon internally.

Every organization recognizes the need for a functional organizational culture. But I think that it is often pushed to the back burner, to the bottom of our priority list. We have executions scheduled or an execution coming up. We have talks to give and new partners to cultivate. So we always think we can do the internal development later. But really, we need to respect how essential developing an effective board, or active chapters, or a productive and healthy staff environment is, because it’s those things that make the external work that we do so effective.

For my part, I think we need to do more of this. One great way is annual retreats for the staff and for the board. Now currently our staff is only two, so this may not be necessary, but as we add additional staff we should think about an annual staff retreat focused on the internal functioning of the organization. And a board retreat is something that we’ve talked about, but has never made it very high up the priority list. Well, I’m not on the board, but my advice is, move it up, and use that time, not to make decisions about TCASK’s future, but to talk about how well the board is working, and how it can function even more efficiently to lead us to our goal.

Taking the time to look inwards will improve our work outwards.

Just minutes ago a Texas jury found Andrea Pia Yates to be not guilty by reason of insanity. Yates, who drowned her five children to try to save them from hell when she, in a state of serious psychosis, believed that Satan was inside of her, had previously been sentenced to death. Instead Yates will now be committed to a mental hospital where she can receive the treatment that she so clearly needs. You can read more about Yates’ case in Saturday’s post below.

Sadly, even when there was so much clear evidence of mental illness in the Yates case, the state of Texas still argued that she did not meet their standard for being legally insane. This standard is similar to that employed by Tennessee, i.e. that a person know that they are going to be executed and know why. Fortunately, in this case the jury was able to see the truth despite the state’s obfuscation. I only wish that the same could be said for the hundreds of mentally ill inmates around the country and the dozens of those suffering from mental illness and sentenced to death right here in Tennessee. Maybe we can all take some hope from the yates decision that our society may be moving toward a more just and understanding way of treating the mentally ill.

psssssssssst…look – just between you n’ me, all execution methods are barbaric … ever since executions began we humans have been trying to make it less gruesome, more sanitary, a public relations no brainer…

and the “geniuses” who thought up lethal injection thought they’d hit one out of the park (no you silly person, the oklahoma legislators who enacted the first law not the nazi doctors who invented it as a method of killing the “unwanted” during the reign of the terror under the third reich)…

seems they were wrong…

on tuesday a federal judge found that missouri’s revised lethal injection procedure was not adequate to ensure that condemned inmates did not suffer unnecessary pain…the state had modified its protocol in response to a ruling last month by u.s. district judge fernando j. gaitan jr., who barred executions until missouri made significant changes to its procedure, which is similar to those used by about three dozen other states…

missouri tried…seems state officials contacted 298 anesthesiologists in missouri and southern illinois, but none was willing to participate in executions…

so the ban on executions in missouri stands…

as does the one in california…

but wait, tennessee has the same protocol – the same set of drugs … but we still get to kill people???

maybe it’s just me but that seems arbitrary II…

peace out – <3

Tim McDonald, our board secretary, recently had an op-ed published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press. It’s a good piece and makes the very important connection between the use of the death penalty and the lack of scarce resources in other crucial areas. The text is below:

Stories show state’s spending misplaced

It is appropriate that the paper has the story of Tennessee’s first executions in several years in the same edition with the story of the dismal status of Tennessee’s children as revealed in the Casey Foundation report.

Both executions and the lack of support for children appear to stem from a set of misplaced priorities in this state.

How can Tennessee spend hundreds of thousands of dollars attempting to kill two men (one of whom the state has itself determined to be mentally ill and the other for whom the state refuses DNA testing) while there are many better ways to spend the limited dollars available in this state?

Spending state funds for victim restitution, crime prevention for at-risk children and other programs designed to help children are much better ways to spend money than using it to orchestrate state killings.

The fact that Tennessee shows up at 46th out of 50 in the recent report shows that available funds are obviously not being spent for the betterment of children.

While the state cannot and should not be expected to fully support children financially, it should be expected to spend some available funds to help improve their lives.

Like it or not, the death penalty remains an issue that scares legislators. True, a majority of Americans no longer think the death penalty deters crime, and true the number of death sentences and executions continue to drop, and it is true that the more people learn about the death penalty, the less likely they are to support it, but a majority of Americans do still support the death penalty and many of them get very angry about it. So it isn’t easy for elected officials to look “soft on crime” even when we know that the death penalty, by taking money out of the coffers of local law enforcement and D.A.s, actually puts us more at risk.

So to get them to do what they know is right, we need to show them that they have support in their districts, and one of the best ways to do that is to pass moratorium resolutions in local churches and small businesses. To that end, I spent Saturday in Memphis. The main event on my schedule was conducting a training in resolution gathering to our three person moratorium team, that we formed in Memphis last month.

Resolution trainings are a fun little event. Most of the training involves role playing and practice in going into small businesses and making a one to two minute pitch to the owner. TCASK provides pretty binders with visual aids that both keep the resolution gatherer on script and enhance the presentation for the business owner as well.

We had a good time (we were on an second story porch and it was a very nice day out) and the team did a really good time going through the pitch. But, the highlight came when we got a resolution before we had even finished the training. You see, “Food Not Bombs” came by to drop off a donation of bread. One of our team members ran down to the van and did her first pitch, and, thinking on her feet, pointed out that “Food Not Bombs” groups in several other Tennessee cities had already passed these resolutions (included in the binder is a list of all the Tennessee moratorium endorsers), and so they signed up. Man! I must be good!

So Memphis has a new moratorium resolution and a team heading out with 15 businesses already targeted in the next month. As we move toward a municipal resolution in Memphis and a legislative victory in the state assembly these resolutions will help make the difference.
