THE CAMPAIGN

We are a diverse group of individuals who come from different organizations working to end the death penalty in Wyoming in 2021.

The death penalty’s history of deep injustices, skyrocketing costs and entrenched discrimination defies party lines. Repealing the death penalty in Wyoming will help eliminate racial and jurisdictional bias, reduce unnecessary waste of tax dollars and eliminate the risk of executing innocent people.

It’s time to end the death penalty in Wyoming!
