DESCRIPTION:In Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Death Penalty, Italian journalist and 
 legislator Mario Marazziti achieves what might sound impossible: a book 
 about the death penalty that takes on this weightiest of subjects in a 
 charming and intimate way, bringing home the vast numbers of people 
 impacted and why the stakes are high not only for those on Death Row but 
 for us all.\n\nMarazziti visited San Quentin and Texas and developed many 
 friendships with inmates sentenced to death. After that came the World 
 Coalition Against the Death Penalty, the moratorium on executions in 
 individual countries, the growing movement for abolition of the death 
 penalty worldwide, the presentation of 3.2 million signatures to the United 
 Nations' Secretary General, the UN General Assembly's statement against the 
 inhumanity of capital punishment, and the pledges of several dozen 
 countries to abolish the death penalty or suspend its use. \n\n"...a deeply 
 moving and cogently argued account of what an abominable practice, the 
 death penalty, should be abolished. It dehumanizes those who use it. Its 
 mistakes cannot be corrected." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu\n\nMario Marazziti 
 co-founded the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty in 2002. He is the 
 longtime spokesperson for the Community of Sant'Egidio, a progressive 
 Catholic NGO based in Rome, in Trastevere. In 2012 he was elected to the 
 lower house of the Italian parliament, where he pursues a broad 
 human-rights portfolio. He lives in Rome.\n\nPresented by KPFA Radio 
 94.1FM, with American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, Amnesty 
 International USA/SF, Death Penalty Focus and California People of Faith, 
 Working Against the Death Penalty.\n\nHosted by Matt Cherry, the Executive 
 Director of Death Penalty Focus, a San Francisco-based non-profit working 
 for alternatives to the death penalty.\n\n$12 advance tickets: 800-838-3006 
  or independent bookstores, $15 door, KPFA benefit   www.kpfa.org/events\n
