Dear CCATDP Family,

It’s hard to believe what all that we've accomplished in 2019. We knocked two more states off the list of those with an active death penalty. New Hampshire repealed their law legislatively and California is now under an executive moratorium.

We also helped lay the groundwork for repeal in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, all of which have significant opportunties to end the death penalty in the next few years. We’re preparing to announce new local groups in the new year in Ohio, Wyoming, and Louisiana, which will all have an official CCATDP presence.

As if that were not enough, we also participated in CPAC and the Young Americans for Liberty Conference this year, the latter of which afforded us the opportunity to discuss the death penalty and its deep flaws with over 25 liberty-minded state lawmakers. Our work has been covered in the media close to 1,000 times this year, and my Newsmax column on the death penalty continues to make waves with conservatives.

Our work has contributed to stays of execution across this country, including at the federal level, in Texas, Florida, and Oklahoma. Those are real lives, all of which have significant innocence claims, that our work helped protect.

The end of the death penalty in the United States has become a question of when, not if, and conservatives continue to lead the charge in this effort. The facts are the death penalty is a failed big government program that does not make us safer, wastes resources that could, and endangers more innocent lives.

When we see how far we’ve come in just a year, it makes us very excited to anticipate what next year might look like at this time. Please consider supporting us in our efforts and join the fight.

In Justice,
