Rally To Abolish The Death Penalty
This Sunday, civil rights advocates, religious leaders, and the families of crime victims will gather at the state capitol to launch a campaign, called Abolition Day, to end the death penalty in Connecticut.
Although the ACLU is most often associated with litigation, we also work outside the courtroom to ensure that decision-makers always keep the Constitution in mind when drafting laws. The ACLU of Connecticut is a trusted voice, and policymakers in Connecticut know that we are committed to principles, not agendas. By lifting up the voices of everyday Connecticut residents and engaging in strategic advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national levels, we provide the tools our supporters need to call on lawmakers to protect the civil liberties of all Americans.
