EJUSA Email update: March 1st
Dear friend of Equal Justice USA,
We wanted to share this wonderful, breaking news: the U.S. Supreme Court just banned the execution of juveniles!
This was a long and hard-fought effort by many, many organizations at the state and national level. We thank you for all your years of support to EJUSA, and may we celebrate many more victories like this together in the coming years. Someday, our nation WILL be execution-free.
