Campus Progress Student Reps in Austin, Texas have been doing some amazing work through Students Against the Death Penalty (SADP) and the Texas Moratorium Network.

One of their biggest issues right now is the impeachment of a state judge that refused to receive paperwork a few minutes for an urgent appeal from a man that was scheduled to be executed the same night. The cause against Judge Keller has received widespread support, including from the New York Times. SADP has a campaign website where you can find more information about this issue.

You can find recent testimony at a committee hearing from Hooman Hedayati, a University of Texas student, and an update from Margaret Haule, a student at Austin Community College, below:

I know, I know – these are the last three words you want to hear. Yet like it or not, professors on your campus are already finalizing lesson plans, staff at dorms are flipping over ten year old mattresses to hide the stains, and financial aid officers are waiting for those last minute gifts from lenders to determine who will make it onto your preferred lender list. You should be getting ready as well.

Campus Progress is accepting applications for its Student Representative and Advisory Board programs until August 10th.
