The League of Women Voters opposes the death penalty and supports criminal justice policies that respect human dignity, protect human rights, and reduce injustice.
There are currently 565 people on California’s death row – the largest death row in the nation. Governor Newsom has the authority to commute every death sentence in California.
Join the League in urging the Governor to use his executive authority to grant universal clemency changing every death sentence in California to life in prison without possibility of parole. With this historic step he will save lives and move California forward in confronting the injustices of the death penalty.
