|| MEETING TO ADDRESS FUTURE OF ILLINOIS DEATH PENALTY ||
Wednesday, October 2, 2002 at 7:30 p.m.

A community meeting on the future of death penalty will address findings of

solve the death penalty crisis in Illinois. Leaders of Murder Victims’
Families for Reconciliation will address why the death penalty is not good
for family members of murder victims. The current campaign for Abolition and
the upcoming gubernatorial election will also be discussed by leaders in the
movement.

Speakers include: Rachael Dietkus of the Illinois Coalition Against the
Death Penalty; Jennifer Bishop and Bill Jenkins, National Board Members of
Murder Victims’ Families for Reconciliation; and Mike Bullerman from Amnesty
International

WHEN/WHERE: Wednesday, October 2, 2002 at 7:30 p.m. in 124 Burrill Hall ?
407 S. Goodwin ? on the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana Campus.

Illinois’ Republican governor made history when he declared a moratorium on
executions after the thirteenth innocent person was released from Illinois’
death row.  With the release of the Report of the Governor’s Commission on
Capital Punishment in April 2002, the future of the death penalty is being
strongly debated throughout the state.   Citizens continue to support the
moratorium on executions.  Many in Illinois are looking for more humane
alternatives to the death penalty that ensure public safety but do not risk
the execution of an innocent person.

For more information, please contact the Illinois Coalition Against the
Death Penalty at 312-849-2279.
