TCADP 2021 Annual Conference
TCADP’s Annual Conference is a one-day event for anyone who wants to learn more about the death penalty in Texas.  The TCADP 2021 Annual Conference: Reckoning with Injustice in the Death Penalty and Beyond will take place as a virtual event on Zoom on Saturday, February 27, 2021 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM Central Time.  Our esteemed panelists will address the impact of COVID-19 on death penalty use and on incarcerated individuals.  Capital defense attorney and civil rights advocate, Henderson Hill, will deliver the keynote address and share his thoughts on this moment of reckoning with racial injustice.  We also will offer four breakout sessions on a variety of topics and will honor three capital defense attorneys whose zealous advocacy has spared numerous individuals from execution and impacted the future of the death penalty.  Learn more about our award recipients, panelists, and keynote speaker.
