NJ District 21 Important to Death Penalty Aboliton

Please take action! The death penalty abolition bill will be voted on in the full NJ State Senate. It will also be voted on in the Law and Public Safety Committee. Jon Bramnick is a member of that committee. Please contact him and tell him you would like him to vote in favor of abolition of the death penalty.

Dear Friends in District 21,

Please contact your legislators NOW! Tell them to vote YES on the death penalty abolition bill.

Senator Thomas Kean: 908-232-3673 * SenKean@njleg.org

Asm. Jon Bramnick: 908-232-3673 * AsmBramnick@njleg.org

Asm. Eric Munoz: 908-232-3673 * AsmMunoz@njleg.org

On Monday, the full Senate will vote on whether or not to pass legislation that would abolish New Jersey's death penalty. Also on Monday, an Assembly committee will consider and vote on the same important legislation.

With two critical votes upon us, it is essential that every New Jerseyan who supports abolition of the death penalty take a moment to weigh in with their own legislators one more time, even if you have done so many times before and even if you have done so very recently. Your legislators are listed above, with their contact information. Please call them NOW, tell them that you are a constituent, and ask them to vote yes the death penalty abolition bill.

Your district is especially important because Assemblyman Jon Bramnick is a member of the committee that will be voting on Monday and Senator Kean will also cast his vote on Monday.

This is an opportunity for New Jersey to lead the nation toward justice! Because this would be the first time since 1965 that any State Legislature voted to abolish its death penalty, many are calling this a turning point moment for capital punishment in our nation's history. But, we are not there yet. Our voices must stay strong and clear until the bill passes both houses.

I will let you know the results of Monday's votes as soon as I can.

In peace, Celeste
