We have launched a Petition drive in support of the United Nations resolution calling for a worldwide end to the use of the death penalty. This resolution will be voted on in the General Assembly of the UN in December of 2012.<br /><br />We hope you will join DPF in the leadership of US participation in this international movement toward abolition by signing the 2011 International Petition Against the Death Penalty. This movement is growing and gaining momentum, both in the US and all over the world, and we are very excited to be a part of it.<br /><br />Thank you again for your steadfast support of Death Penalty Focus.connie nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431611328255592047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-55702916365060015872011-10-10T14:26:15.016-07:002011-10-10T14:26:15.016-07:00Death Penalty Focus (California)is in the leadersh...Death Penalty Focus (California)is in the leadership of this international abolition movement, as a member of the Steering Committee of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty. <br /><br />Every year, on October 10th, World Day Against the Death Penalty, the World Coalition's 125 member organizations in 35 countries, participate in an international program of education and activism against the death penalty.connie nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431611328255592047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-35842577881365773612011-10-10T14:25:24.500-07:002011-10-10T14:25:24.500-07:00In 1988, when DPF was founded, only 35 nations wor...In 1988, when DPF was founded, only 35 nations worldwide had abolished the death penalty completely, and another 18 had abolished it for ordinary crimes. Today, 139 countries, most of the nations on earth, have abolished the death penalty in law or in practice. <br /><br />The US, sadly, is in the very bad company of China, North Korea and Yemen as one of the top executing nations.connie nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431611328255592047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-60733503091818142402011-10-10T02:23:52.829-07:002011-10-10T02:23:52.829-07:00Oct 10, 1963 and October 10, 1967: Discussions on ...Oct 10, 1963 and October 10, 1967: Discussions on banning WMD need heeding by all yet esp. those with them (are you deaf, US?)<br /><br />http://www.peacebuttons.info/E-News/thisweek.htm#mondayCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.com
