New campaigns to end the death penalty have just kicked off in Connecticut and Maryland! A bill to repeal the death penalty already rocketed through the legislature in Illinois this month. And Montana kicked off their repeal campaign last week!
I guess this justice thing is kinda contagious.

But why are we so excited about these states?
In 2009 the Connecticut legislature voted to repeal the death penalty and it would be law today if it hadn't been vetoed by the Governor. But now Connecticut has a new governor who promises he will sign a repeal bill if it gets to his desk. If you live in Connecticut, act now athttp://ejusa.org/act/CT
In Maryland, a study commission found the death penalty was broken beyond repair and recommended ending the death penalty. The Governor agrees, along with dozens of members of law enforcement, families of murder victims, and religious leaders. If you live in Maryland, act now athttp://ejusa.org/act/MD
Now is our moment. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for your support. Don't forget to get your friends in Maryland and Connecticut in on the action by asking them to sign up with us athttp://ejusa.org/signup for breaking news and action opportunities in their home state!
