Please join the National Public Housing Museum and the Death Penalty Project to mark World Day Against the Death Penalty.
World Day Against the Death Penalty is dedicated to telling stories to humanize and lift the voices of those affected by the death penalty.
At our event, death row survivors Renaldo Hudson, Stanley Howard, and Ronnie Kitchen, and their close ally Alice Kim, will share ephemera, stories, and wisdom from their struggles toward exoneration and liberation from death row.
FREE. Light bites and refreshments included—please register in advance so we can plan accordingly!
About the Death Penalty Project
The Death Penalty Project takes an in-depth look at the anti-death penalty organizing and strategies of those on death row in Illinois and their allies. Their organizing played a key role in Illinois’ 2000 moratorium on executions, 2003 blanket commutation of all death sentences, and 2011 abolition of the death penalty. By sharing the strategies that moved Illinois to abolish the death penalty—and the lessons learned along the way—our documentary provides a roadmap for state-level movements to end the death penalty across the U.S.
