World Day Against the Death Penalty - October 10th

---

Since its inception in 2022, Catholics for Abolition in North Carolina has hosted October 10th peaceful protests outside Central Prison. This year, the NCCADP is coming to Raleigh as they carry out a Walk for Commutation over the course of days leading up to October 10^th, the 22nd World Day Against the Death Penalty. In conjunction with these efforts, CANC wants to add a mile of our own to honor those executed, those still on death row in NC, and to bring awareness to people along the way.

Deacon Joshua Klickman, HLD Coordinator for the Raleigh diocese, will lead a special anti-death penalty rosary in the chapel at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral, starting at 3:30. Then you'll be invited, with your signs, to walk down Western Blvd to Central Prison (@ 1.2 mile) to stand in solidarity with the 136 men and women on death row. 

To RSVP, or for more information, please email Nancy Jones at [email protected].
