End the Death Penalty

Hi, I’m writing to oppose the death penalty. Not only are death row prisoners disproportionately Black, but data indicates that a disturbing number are wrongfully put to death and that the death penalty does not improve public safety. At the former president’s whim, 13 people were executed in a six-month period last year. The federal government must join the 22 states and the District of Columbia to abolish the death penalty. Therefore, I’m asking you to co-sponsor both H.R. 97 and H.R. 262. Thanks.
