Death Penalty: Broken, Unfair, Expensive.

Police chiefs across our country agree that the death penalty is an ineffective way to stop violent crime. Why does Washington spend tax dollars on something that doesn't make us safer when those resources could go to more effective support for youth, victims and their families, and public safety? Tell your legislator to support replacing the death penalty with life in prison without parole.

Take Action
