TSADP is involved in launching new groups or helping other local anti-death penalty groups organize protests and vigils on execution days.

These groups organized vigils and processions in 21 cities on Aug. 7, 1988, which was called "National Free Sharon Kowalski Day."

Churches organized vigils and opened their doors to anyone who wanted to pray.

By then, the group expects to be organizing street demonstrations, marches and vigils and putting pressure on politicians.

The group has organized protests, pickets, vigils, direct actions, street theatre, concerts, teach-ins, conferences, and rallies.

Since last year, Ms. Wilchins and Transexual Menace have taken to organizing vigils after the slayings of transsexuals.

The group has also organized vigils after each murder, but lately, she said, the killings have been coming too frequently, about one a month, to mark each one.

Inspired by the Munich success, citizens in other cities quickly set about organizing similar vigils.

Code Pink has also organized vigils at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC.

During autumn 1910, after the accuser, engineer Woitechowski, was called to order by Straucher, the city's Christians organized vigils and strikes.
