EJUSA is a proud sponsor of two conference sessions – a panel about the death penalty and a leadership training for grassroots partners.
Our National Organizer, Lex, is organizing and moderating the death penalty panel, featuring Kim Davis, whose brother Troy Davis was executed in 2011, Vickye Coward, whose son Tyler was murdered in Connecticut, and our national partner Diann Rust-Tierney of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. Our Executive Director, Shari, will lead the training session for grassroots leaders.
Mothers in Charge is an incredible group of mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters who are working together to save lives, advocate for families affected by violence, and provide services ranging from youth intervention to counseling and grief support services for families of murder victims. Most of MIC’s members have lost children to violence and have devoted their lives to preventing another mother from having to experience this tragedy.
We have no doubt the conference will be inspiring and important.
