3/9 MEDIA UPDATE!



Photobucket


Greetings all,

Here's some brief media updates, thanks to everyone for keeping their ears and eyes open and for continuing to put out information on the case of the Scott Sisters and especially the medical emergency that Jamie Scott is enduring within that prison hellhole.

TheGrio.com is an NBC site which also features an article on the Scott Sisters! The site describes itself as "the first video-centric news community site devoted to providing African Americans with stories and perspectives that appeal to them but are underrepresented in existing national news outlets."

The piece they did is at: http://www.thegrio.com/news/mississippi-women-fight-to-appeal-life-sentences-for-11-robbery.php so please check it out and enter your comments, there is a bit of a debate happening and your input would be great! Let's maximize this to the fullest!

This brief article has already led to another media source, the radio show "Keeping it Real with Al Sharpton" which today featured Bro. David Wilson who heads up TheGrio.com and is best known for the film "Meeting David Wilson" which aired last year on MSNBC. Hopefully this will lead to even more supporters and continue to build the momentum to a national demand for the release of these women!

Now that Al Sharpton cannot deny that he is aware of the case, there's no reason for him to not act on this knowledge on their behalf: http://www.nationalactionnetwork.net/contact.html

The hugely popular blog destination, The Intersection of Madness and Reality, also featured the case of the Scott Sisters today:

Where Are The Marches For The Scott Sisters? Are They Too Female For The Jena 6 Treatment?

Forward ever to more and more mainstream media coverage!
