for those scheduled for execution,
for the victims of these crimes and
all whose lives have been

Catholic Mobilizing Network  invites us to “uplift the wisdom of those transforming our broken criminal justice system” through their blog. Click here to view.

We urge you to read the Death Penalty Annual Report for 2019 for current analysis of death penalty trends.

We are also advocating for the humane treatment of prisoners during this pandemic. Many are calling for the release of non-violent detainees, for the release of the imprisoned and seriously ill elderly and for a moratorium on the use of the death penalty.
