WELCOME TO STARVIN' FOR JUSTICE 2010

The 17th Annual Fast & Vigil in Washington, DC
June 28th - July 2nd, 2010

Welcome to the home page of the Fast and Vigil in the summer of 2010 in Washington, DC. The four-day 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. We hope you will consider joining the dozens of anti-death penalty activists who come regularly from across the U.S. and Canada - from Florida to Alaska and everywhere inbetween - to join together for public education and outreach at the steps of the Supreme Court.

This is a great experience and training ground for people who want to practice, or become very adept, at talking about the death penalty. Tens of thousands of tourists, from all over the U.S. and throughout the world, pass by our vigil and table, so the opportunity for dialogue and discussion at a real grass-roots level is invaluable to the movement. 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.

If you are unable to attend but would like to support the annual event that reaches tens-of-thousands of people on the streets of DC, donations are greatly appreciated to make this effort possible. See our sponorship page for details. And as always, help spread the word to your networks, groups, and local media.

The pages of this website will cover the nitty gritty of what you need to know to participate, and how you can make the most of your participation. Please be sure to register, and let us know that you are coming. Please also read the history of this event and the court decisions that precipitated it. We're looking forward to Starvin' with ya!
