Thursday Night Action Hour with Special Guest Mano Amiga! Community Event May 2, 2024 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM CT Virtual All are welcome to join the Texas Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry (TXUUJM) for our weekly Thursday night justice gatherings on Zoom. This week, a special guest from Mano Amiga will share about DeVonte Amerson's case in Hays County. DeVonte has a trial set in June, even though at the trial of his co-defendant, Cyrus Gray, it became clear that "Hays County had poor evidence against [Gray], especially considering the gravity of the charges – no eyewitnesses, video, fingerprints, or DNA connected Gray or Amerson to the murder." Learn about the case and take action to prevent a miscarriage of justice. Come every week or pop in when you can. Invite friends, UU or not, Texan or not. ALL WELCOME.
