When You Try, God Is There And

People Are More Than The Worst Thing They Have Ever Done In Their Lives

I Realize That I Cannot Stand By Silently As My Government Executes Its Citizens. If I Do Not Speak Out And Resist, I Am An Accomplice.

Government ... Can't Be Trusted To Control Its Own Bureaucrats Or Collect Taxes Equitably Or Fill A Pothole, Much Less Decide Which Of Its Citizens To Kill.

The Movement To Abolish The Death Penalty Needs The Religious Community Because The Heart Of Religion Is About Compassion, Human Rights, And The Indivisible Dignity Of Each Human Person Made In The Image Of God.

When People Of Color Are Killed In The Inner City, When Homeless People Are Killed, When The "nobodies" Are Killed, District Attorneys Do Not Seek To Avenge Their Deaths. Black, Hispanic, Or Poor Families Who Have A Loved One Murdered Not Only Don't Expect The District Attorney's Office To Pursue The Death Penalty -which, Of Course, Is Both Costly And Time Consuming- But Are Surprised When The Case Is Prosecuted At All.
