City councils calling for a moratorium

The list of local governments calling for a moratorium on executions has now reached 110! On May 3, the New Haven, CT Board of Alderman took an additional step and became the second local government in the nation to call for complete abolition of the death penalty. Congratulations to local organizers and citizens across the country who continue to pursue these victories. If your town or city council isn’t on the list, contact EJUSA for an organizing packet to get started!
