Curtis Osborne was executed by the State of Georgia on June 4, 2008. View this film documenting the racism of Curtis’ public defender, who did not tell Curtis that the prosecution had offered a life sentence if Curtis would plead guilty. This film was presented to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole in an appeal for mercy prior to Curtis’ execution. Click here to view the film.

The Open Door Community The Open Door Community is a
residential community in the Catholic Worker tradition (we’re sometimes called
a Protestant Catholic Worker House!). We seek to dismantle racism, sexism
and heterosexism, abolish the death penalty, and create the Beloved Community on
Earth through a loving relationship with some of the most neglected and outcast
of God’s children: the homeless and our sisters and brothers who are in
prison. We serve breakfasts and soup-kitchen lunches, provide showers and changes of clothes, staff a free medical clinic, conduct worship services and meetings for the clarification of thought, and provide a prison ministry, including monthly trips for families to visit loved ones at the Hardwick Prisons in central Georgia. We also advocate on behalf of the oppressed, homeless and prisoners through nonviolent protests, grassroots organization and the publication of our monthly newspaper, Hospitality. Let us send you the 25th Anniversary history of the Open Door, Sharing the Bread of Life: Hospitality and Resistance at the Open Door Community. Order here. To learn more about the history, theology, and life of the Open Door Community, we invite you to read these pages on our Web site: Christ Comes in the Stranger's Guise, the 10th anniversary history of the Open Door Community.
