Dear Friends,
Earlier this month, TCADP released its annual report, Texas Death Penalty Developments in 2013: The Year in Review. The report notes that Texas – along with the rest of the nation – is steadily moving away from the death penalty. While Texas remains the nation’s leading executioner, death sentences remain near record-low levels. Use of the death penalty continues to be geographically isolated and arbitrarily imposed…. Dallas County alone accounts for 20% of new death sentences in recent years. Learn more of the report’s findings.
Thanks to your steadfast support and participation, we are dismantling the death penalty county-by-county. TCADP cannot continue this work without you!
View this slideshow of highlights from some of our events over the past year.
2014 will bring exciting opportunities for TCADP to engage new partners in our strategic efforts to end the death penalty. Please support our organization by making a special end-of-year, tax-deductible donation so that we can continue these vital education and outreach programs.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Together, we will light the way to abolition of the death penalty in Texas.
With gratitude,
Kristin Houlé
Executive Director, Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty
