Tell Lawmakers: Death Penalty Repeal Bill Needs a Hearing

Take Action

On March 28, Senators Nickie Antonio and Steve Huffman introduced Senate Bill 101. If passed, this bipartisan legislation would abolish capital punishment in Ohio, an effort the ACLU of Ohio strongly supports. We encourage lawmakers to not delay action on this vital effort to put an end to the death penalty.

Capital punishment is inequitable, inhumane, and ineffective. It has far more to do with geography, money, and race than anything resembling justice. Across the country, 23 states and Washington, D.C. have already abolished the death penalty. Ohio should be next on the list. #NoDeathPenaltyOH

TAKE ACTION: Ask the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on SB 101.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
