Iran is the only country in the world that 'officially' executes children. According to the United Nations, a child is a person under the age of 18. Despite the fact that Iran has signed International Covenants that forbid them to execute anyone who has allegedly committed an offence before the age of 18, they continue to do so. Since 1990, Amnesty International has recorded 30 executions of child offenders and over the last couple of years the rate is increasing. Currently, there are at least 95 minors on death row in Iran. Time is of the essence. Together we will make them STOP the execution of minors!

Urgent Action Needed Please take 30 seconds to email the Sacramento Bee!
In the last week, the Sacramento Bee has published several op-eds on the death penalty, multiple news stories, and their most compelling editorial to date on the issue.
They have now called for submissions on the death penalty for next week's forum. It is very important we seize this opportunity to submit as many anti-death penalty letters as possible. Letters should be short and simple - no more than 300 words! Even letters that include nothing more than the statement, "I am opposed to the death penalty. " will be helpful!
The Sacramento Bee posed this question: Should California continue to impose the death penalty for the most serious crimes?

Stopping by to share some love. Sending strength & support to everyone on the campaign... and there are many. Great to see. x ... and so it grows... Keep spreading the word. We need more signatures... keep sharing this true to life story and we will see 'Some Day' in our lifetime. Sooner than later would be fantastic, would it not?!
we need to breathe, there is no air ,we need a light to see, there is no sun, we have to raise up the peace, nobody cover us up. but each small candle lights the corner of the dark.
