Opposes individual executions;
Supports legislative initiatives aimed at reducing the application of the death penalty until it is ultimately abolished;
Protects the humanity of individuals on death row;
Educates our fellow Georgians about the death penalty;
Provides concrete action steps for individuals and groups.
