USA----re: City councils passing supporting a moratorium on USA
executions
Alabama and North Carolina are neck in neck with 28 and 27 local
governments each. California comes in 3rd place with 15 local governments.
And Connecticut leads the pack for abolition resolutions -- 2 city
councils there have called for all-out repeal, including their repeal
victory in the Hartford council on Monday.
Below is the full list of city councils. If anyone else is working on a
particular city and hasn't been in touch with us, let me know! We can
provide materials, resources, phone banking, advice, and other assistance
in your campaign.
Warm wishes to all,
Shari
