THE COMRADES
INTRODUCTION
WHAT YOU CAN DO !
Get updates and news!
We are a group of prisoners that seek to unite the death row community to bring about change for everyone caged here on Texas Death Row. Due to the ever worsening deplorable environment of Texas Death Row we have no choice but to push forward and initiate change in the conditions.
Through DRIVE we have organized a group of passionate prisoner activists who have put aside all minor barriers of ethnicity, creed, color and beliefs, to focus on the injustices forced upon us by this system. By means of inner-resistance, organizing, outer petitions drives, protests and direct actions, we will solidify our stance and remain relentless in the fight against oppression!
Until Humanitarian conditions are implemented and Freedom and true Justice is achieved, DRIVE will continue to be an uncompromising force in the Struggle!
