Witness to an Execution Updated Tour Announcement!

P L E A S E F O R W A R D

Campaign to End the Death Penalty is sponsoring a national tour, "Witness to an Execution," featuring the voices of those who have lost a loved one to execution or faced the prospect of execution themselves. As the national debate about lethal injection continues, this tour will expose the barbarity of the death penalty. With these firsthand accounts and experiences of executions, we aim to show that capital punishment is
"cruel and unusual" punishment. As witnesses to execution, the voices featured in this tour will share their stories of loss, struggle, and hope for an end to the death penalty.
