Message from the Executive Director
Dear Colleagues:
Looking forward to the 2010 Annual Conference, I want to report to you on the important progress we’ve been making in the movement, and how that sets the stage for our meeting in Louisville. First, we are strengthening the consensus that the nation’s current response to violent crime and the tragedy of murder is inadequate, that there are better ways to prevent crimes and respond to the needs of crime victims and their communities. Second, we are building a common vision, focusing our movement in a united and strategically effective way. And third, we are succeeding in making the abolition of the death penalty a policy debate heard around the nation.
As always, the Annual Conference brings together hundreds of the movement's most valuable assets -- abolitionist leaders and activists. The 2010 event will place the death penalty within a larger criminal justice context by:
Educating attendees about best practices to prevent and respond to violent crimes;
Offering training models Affiliates can replicate back home; and
Providing opportunities for networking among death penalty advocates, criminal justice leaders, murder victim family members, death row family members, religious leaders, lawyers and others.
This year’s theme, Training for the Long Run -- Building Bridges to Wider Audiences, focuses on broadening our base of support for ending capital punishment. The focus will be on building the momentum for repeal by:
offering basic- and advanced-skills training;
presenting new information on research and policy developments in the field; and
sharing the inspiration of firsthand stories about the harm the death penalty causes individuals and the community.
The training program includes presentation of substantive information, practical tools, and innovative ideas from research and personal experience. Board members will receive an orientation to and training in Affiliate work that lays the groundwork for future activities. Affiliate staff will be introduced to new ideas and advanced skills training. New volunteers and local members will be exposed to the basics and have the opportunity to network with seasoned advocates.
We expect the capital punishment in the US to look very different in five years. Join us for the conference gathering at the cusp of change.
Cordially,
Diann Rust-Tierney
Executive Director
