Just hours ago, we heard big news that proves that miracles do happen! The U.S. Supreme Court granted Troy Davis the chance to finally present crucial evidence in court that may prove his innocence.

Until now, Troy has been denied the opportunity to present all the facts supporting his case. But after a 6-2 ruling from the nation’s highest court, Troy will get that chance at justice we’ve been fighting for since day one.

The power that we’ve seen building behind Troy’s case is awe-inspiring. Your heart-felt emails, letters, phone calls and actions are opening doors that many said were shut for good.

It’s working. But we won’t stop pushing until Troy Davis is granted clemency!

Right now, Troy Davis sits on death row. So keep telling his story to those who haven’t heard it. Keep hoping for more miracles, because given today’s news, it’s clear – anything is possible!

We can’t say it enough – thank you,
