March 1
International Death
Penalty Abolition Day
International
Death Penalty Abolition Day, marks the anniversary of
the date in 1847 in which the State of Michigan
officially became the first English-speaking territory
in the world to abolish capital punishment. It is a day
to remember the victims of violent crime and their
survivors; it is a day to remember those killed by state
sanctioned violence - guilty or not- and their
survivors; and it is a day for intensified education and
action for alternatives to the death
penalty.
