Civic Engagement: The Death Penalty in Ohio

Civic Engagement: The Death Penalty in Ohio

Join RAC-OH and our diverse coalition in our statewide campaign to end the death penalty in Ohio!

There is currently an exciting bipartisan legislative effort underway to abolish the death penalty in Ohio.  Abolishment of the death penalty is critical for our racial justice work – in Ohio people of color make up only 15% of the population but 56% of all death row inmates.  Help us change laws and change lives.  

Join us first for our VIRTUAL LAUNCH on October 7th from 8-9pm

• Please join us to learn about what you can do and discuss the urgency and importance of abolishing the death penalty in Ohio.
• Hear from Ricky Jackson, an Ohio Death Row Exoneree, and Dr. Donna Mayerson, a psychologist who works with death row exonerees and their families.
• Register here! https://urj.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcldO2qrzoiG9NSTgWgdbycfhw-q7tWrbzQ

Then join us for VIRTUAL LOBBY WEEK October 19-22 with our partners, Ohioans to Stop Executions

• Our coalition’s week of action kicks off on October 19^th with an informational session – there will be speakers and learning in the morning followed by lobby visits with your State House and Senate representatives throughout the week.
• Registration will get you a scheduled meeting with your reps and also grant you access to a virtual training session on October 12^th, a training recording, and a t-shirt delivered to your home.
