Get Involved
The Arizona Death Penalty Forum (AzDPF) is a collection of Arizona activists, educators, legal professionals, policy makers, civic/religious leaders, and concerned Arizonans who are united in discourse and civic engagement pursuing the balancing of ethics with justice by calling for an immediate end to Capital Punishment in Arizona.
We welcome your involvement and encourage you to attend our events, write a letter to Arizona Legislators, and to join our volunteers to help support our work.k. | We recognize that the United States is alone among Western nations in its continued use of executions, government-sanctioned killings. AzDPF seeks to turn the United States to the standards of civilized nations and human rights by eliminating the barbaric practice of executions.
We are committed to educating Arizonans about capital punishment because we are confident that when the facts are known, and the issues thoroughly aired, Arizonans will not want the State to kill in their name. It is in the best interest of Arizonans to assure Justice is executed, not people. k |
