Program areas at Death Penalty Action

GENERAL PROGRAMMING: Support, organizing and visibility to address executions and death sentences and other related issues around the United States. We provided opportunities for people to take action to contact public officials, attend events online and in-person, and access visibility materials such as clothing, buttons, signs and banners. We had tens of thousands of people sign our petitions online, and had a large amount of media coverage for our in-person events, which were less than twenty.
