Upcoming Events

• Wednesday, July 9, 2008 6:30 pm at UC Davis Medical Center Director's Conference Room of the Davis Tower, 2315 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento
  Ms. Stella Levy, a long-time anti-death penalty activist, will discuss the recently released report of the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice. As reported in the July 1, 2008 Sacramento Bee, "capital punishment in California is too flawed to be effective and is crippled by an appeals backlog that delays punishment for crimes."  Ms. Levy will focus on the economic costs of the death penalty, as detailed in the report. Please come and join us for an informative meeting.
