(51,907 posts)During the state legislative session underway right now, our lawmakers are considering whether to put a stop to Washington states death penalty. Let them know you think its time for our state to end this costly and unfair punishment that neither deters crime nor provides certain justice to victims' families. Please urge your legislators to support replacing the death penalty with life in prison without parole.

Momentum is growing for ending in the death penalty in states across the country. In the past five years, five states have eliminated capital punishment, and others will likely repeal their death penalty laws this year. Urge your legislator to make Washington state the next to join this growing movement for safe and just alternatives to the death penalty.
