It’s Official! Today the Commonwealth of Virginia became the first Southern State to Abolish the Death Penalty.

March 24, 2021 by Mark Elliott

Wow!

The national momentum to repeal the death penalty has never been stronger and, together, we have helped fuel it.

So, how do we build on this latest success for our movement? Glad you asked.

FADP has exciting plans. This year our focus is on building a powerful base of support for death penalty repeal so we can take our work to the next level. In the works is a deeper dive into the stories that reveal the truth about this dangerous and destructive policy. We are planning a greater focus on the role race plays in the process of determining who lives and who dies in Florida. And we’re putting a greater emphasis on elevating these messages and stories in the media.

Our goal is to build power across the state, extending our reach to every corner of Florida by supporting new leadership and further connecting our work to local community efforts.

We need to seize this moment. But we need you. Can you help us lift our campaign for death penalty repeal to the next level?

We’re excited about the future. We hope you are too.

In the meantime, we hope you will celebrate Virginia’s move toward justice with a gift to FADP today. Together, we will end the death penalty in Florida!

Onward together,
Mark
