This September, the Coalition to Abolish Death by Incarceration and partner groups are doing a caravan to end life sentences across Pennsylvania from Sept 21-28. We’ll be raising energy and awareness about death-by-incarceration sentences and connecting together people who have advocated and fought in the past–and also informing people about various things happening now in the courts and legislature to free people.
Registration Encouraged But Not Required
