Yesterday, TADP joined the Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP for their 11th Annual Legislative Day on the Hill. The Conference’s members spent the day learning more about the legislative process and how they can get involved; discussing current legislation on important issues like education, health care, voting rights, criminal justice, and immigration; and meeting with their representatives to express their concerns.

Among the group’s legislative priorities is a moratorium on the death penalty. TADP Executive Director, Stacy Rector, spoke to the attendees about the ineffectiveness, inefficiency, high cost, and unfairness of our broken capital punishment system. She highlighted the impact of the Troy Davis case in Georgia and how it further shifted public opinion of the death penalty by raising concerns from people from all walks of life.  She also noted NAACP President Benjamin Jealous’ recent statement to the Maryland legislature about the need to abolish the state’s death penalty. He stated, “The state of Maryland continues to waste money on the death penalty, continues to put citizens’ lives at risk by not investing enough in homicide victims services, so that a few politicians can feel tough on crime.”

Tennessee is working toward a full repeal campaign like Maryland’s, but we are not there yet, and there is much groundwork to be laid before we can successfully move forward with such a campaign.  We look forward to continuing to work with the NAACP and partnering with others who are concerned about our state’s priorities and educate more and more communities about why the death penalty needs to go.
