Just make the decision yourself, which I hope its the progressive one... Part Four.

Earlier I mentioned that there were four series of "trials" that we had against the cruelty of the death penalty. Through each one, the opponents of the death penalty offer valid reasons of why the death penalty should be abolished: it's racist, classist, convicts the poor, it's cruel and unusual, and there is NO sign of deterrence.

From March 10th-14th, the Texas Students against the Death Penalty and Campus Progress has an Alternative Spring Break entitled "The Anti-Death Action Penalty Conference." This conference brings many students from around the nation to protest, lobby, and develop plans on how to get the death penalty abolished. I had the pleasure of attending this conference, and it was a life-changing event. I always knew I was against the death penalty morally and holistically, but now I have the information to present in front of proponents.

As part of this Action Camp, we were visited with people who have a family member on death row, and also victims' family members. This was a rewarding experience to hear people who witnessed a crime and still oppose the racist and classist death penalty.

Four videos will be uploaded throughout the week when we were on the Capitol Hill steps putting the death penalty "on trial." Here is part one of the video.
