End Death Penalty

I was excited to see the Feb. 3 collaboration by Rabbi Amy Scheinerman of the Baltimore Board of Rabbis and Gerald Stansbury of the NAACP in their joint call for civic engagement on the issue of the death penalty (“End Death Penalty,” Feb. 3).

A good first step is to sign up at md case.org and to take the actions suggested or go to http://mdelect.net to find your state legislators. Then send them a brief note urging a floor debate on the bill so that there can be a vote in the House of Delegates and in the Senate this year.
