Kids Against the Death Penalty

Working to end the Death Penalty through Education and Action!!!

How You Can Help!!!

KADP is a Texas-based group whose mission is abolishing the death penalty and finding justice for the men and women on death row.  There is power in numbers, so we invite you to join our cause!  You can help by joining us for rallies, marches, and protests!!!  We also need fresh new ideas, and help organizing the rallies, marches, and protests.  In addition, we need people who have the time to research the death penalty and everything related to it. 

 

You can also help by becoming active!!!  Research the men and women who sit on death row, (Find Texas' Scheduled Executions here). sign their petitions and pass them along to your friends so they can sign them, write letters to the governor and the board of pardons and parole on behalf of the inmates, contact your state representatives, and tell them you are against the death penalty, and you wish to have the death penalty abolished.

 

The possibilities are endless; be creative!

 

Please feel free to contact us if you wish to get involved!!!

 

 

 

You can also help by contacting your representatives!

 

Contacting Congress

Residents of Texas are represented in Congress by 2 Senators and 32 Representatives.

E-mails, petitions, form-letters, phone calls, telegrams, postcards and personal letters are but a few great ways to contact these government officials.    

When writing to your government officials, remember to always be courteous and precise.  Do not remind them that your tax dollars pay their salary and do not be threatening in anyway! Remember also that LONG letters might not be read as thoroughly as you want them to be so, keep to the points!
