MCADP has been successful at keeping the Death Penalty out of Massachusetts, but as recently as 1997 the issue came down to one tie-breaking vote! There is also a persistent effort by federal prosecutors to bring death penalty cases to trial in non-death penalty states. In the current political climate, things are not going to get easier — we need to be active!

For more information about activities near you contact the MCADP office.
