Abolish the Death Penalty Meeting Tonight (Hartford)

The Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty (CNADP) holds regional monthly meetings in Hartford, on the second Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 7:00 PM. Everyone is welcome. Directions available at cnadp.org.

As we approach a special legislative session for new (and likely more punitive) changes in criminal justice policy, organizations advocating for a more humane approach will need to be a part of the debate if we’re going to achieve a fully-considered set of laws. Hopefully CNADP will find a way into the discussion.
