This Saturday at 2:15pm EDT, Rehumanize International's annual conference features a keynote address from Sabrina Butler-Smith, Exonerated Death Row Survivor and member of Witness to Innocence. Sabrina was a loving teenage mother when she was wrongfully convicted in the death of her nine-month-old son in Mississippi. She was later exonerated of all wrongdoing, after spending six and a half years incarcerated, two of those years on death row. She was the first woman exonerated from death row in the US. She now works to change legislation, determined to make the system better so others, especially youth, do not have to experience what she did.

Death Penalty Action is a sponsor of this conference in partnership with our allies at Rehumanize International. Rehumanize International is a nonprofit human rights organization dedicated to creating a culture of peace and life, and in so doing, seeks to bring an end to all aggressive violence against humans through education, discourse, and action.

Death Penalty Action's executive director, Abraham Bonowitz, will give a workshop starting at 1pm EDT.  

How to Help End Executions in the US

We are at a moment in the history of the the death penalty in the United States where we are abolishing executions in some states while others are ramping up and resuming their executions, often by going back to archaic forms of killing (firing squad, electric chair, gas chamber). Join Abe Bonowitz of Death Penalty Action for an update of what is happening and real action tools and strategies to do something about it.
