Soul Stirrer with embodied faith in action - Jude is Filler is the retired Executive Director of Texas Alliance for Human Needs(1988-2002) and former state campaign chair for Amnesty International’s Texas Campaign Against the Death Penalty (1988-1998).

In her role with Amnesty International USA, she knew many men and several women on Texas’ death row.  For 22 years, her closest friend and partner in death penalty abolition efforts was the recently executed David Powell.  They often spoke daily, sometimes for hours and met together weekly.  She saw David during the 3 days before they killed him and she was in the room when the State of Texas ended his life.
