Today is #internationalwomensday24 and I want to call attention to the women who are on #deathrow around the world. In 1976, I was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death. It's still happening. It needs to end. https://t.co/Snz0doTvmw

"I was told by one of the jurors that one of the reasons they wanted to sentence me to death was to make an example of a woman." -Sunny Jacobs of @SunnyCenterFDN during our dialogue at #CEDAW86 🔗 Learn more about her story here: https://t.co/DJiHhOvQ1N

Peter & I chose to situate the Sunny Healing Center here in this beautiful location. A newcomer may at first see only a barren, windswept landscape. But, put your hand on the earth here, and you can feel the life pulsing through it. https://t.co/xr0hpRW1dc

Both Malcolm Alexander and Frederick Clay were exonerated after spending decades in prison. Clay has received financial compensation for his wrongful conviction, while Alexander still waits.

We thank you for continuing to be a part of our lives, whether near or far. After all, there is no such thing as virtual love. We may not be able to gather physically, but the love goes on and on and on. Love has no borders.

Peter has chosen to remain at home and things are as good as they can be. We feel very blessed to be able to continue on this part of our journey together, as a team, as we have always done. We can still have the odd chat and hold hands at night before we go to sleep.

I think it’s nicer to know, while one can still appreciate it, how people feel and the memories that you share rather than waiting till afterwards.

We are not able to do visits/phone calls. But, while he is still here to enjoy it, we would love to hear from you. Anything you would like to say, or for Peter to know, please post it here and I will read the posts to him.

This is a message to all our family and friends. The time has come to say farewell to our dear Peter, who is in the process of transitioning from this body and this plane. Peter has a special request.
