Illinois Governor Signs Death Penalty Repeal Into Law

March 9, 2011

Today, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed the death penalty repeal bill into law, officially ending capital punishment in Illinois!

As you celebrate this victory, please take a moment to help build the momentum toward abolition in Kansas.

Right now, HB 2323, which would repeal the Kansas death penalty and replace it with a life sentence without the possibility of parole, is under consideration in the Kansas House.

Please contact your State Representative today and ask him/her to support ending the death penalty in Kansas!

You can also help by writing a letter to the editor and submitting it to your local newspaper. For information about submitting letters online, contact KCADP’s organizers at info@ksabolition.org.

The success in Illinois is due directly to the hard work of people like you.  Congratulations to Illinois and everyone who worked toward that victory.

Kansas can be the next state to abolish the death penalty, but abolition won’t happen without your help! Contact your legislator today and ask him/her to support repeal!
