Legislation to end the death penalty has been introduced in both the Ohio House and Senate. In addition, a study of Ohio’s death penalty is underway by the Ohio Supreme Court.
Faith communities across Ohio are speaking out strongly against the death penalty. Last month, more than 230 Ohio faith leaders called on Governor Kasich to show mercy to Mark Wiles, who was executed despite an overwhelming show of support for clemency. Momentum for ending the death penalty in Ohio is growing like never before. Now is the best time to get involved with the movement to end Ohio’s death penalty.
