On Friday February 15th, the Senate passed SB 5339, the 2019 bill to end the death penalty. This year’s lobby day will focus on our House Representatives. You might remember that last year the bill to end the death penalty made it through the Senate and a House committee, but never made it to the House floor for a vote. Let’s make 2019 different.
