Recently, I gave a talk at the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty’s annual conference about words we should stop using when we talk about the death penalty. They’re words like: controversial, courageous, brave, hard.
These words send the wrong message. They give the impression that only a few people can change the conversation about justice in this country. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. All of the incredible progress that we’ve made this year is because of supporters like you.
And it has never been easier to participate. That’s why we’re launching the Make Room for Justice Challenge.
Can you make a little room in your monthly budget – $5, $10, or even $25 – for justice?
I’m going to make my lunch at home this month in order to make a little extra room to pledge a monthly gift to EJUSA, in addition to my regular giving. All of our staffers are taking the challenge as well.
We’re making incredible progress, and with your help, we can make room for more. In Maryland, the end of the death penalty brought an important opportunity for the families of murder victims. A bill to help them just sailed through the legislature!
We’re bringing the movement to new places and audiences every day, from African American sororities to booth number 717 at the biggest conservative political conference in the country.
If you join the Make Room for Justice Challenge today, you’ll have twice the impact. A generous donor will double your monthly gift for an entire year!
Thank you.
