Daughters of Wisdom Award $10,000 Mission Grant to Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty

Endorsed by Sr. Lucy Clynes, DW, Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, of Tampa, Florida, was awarded a $10,000 grant to expand and mobilize a coordinated, strategic, bipartisan, grassroots empowerment effort to end the death penalty in Florida. Short-term goals are stopping executions, reducing death sentences, and demonstrating the inevitable end of the death penalty. Building support for a 2023 repeal campaign, FADP is working with its partners in the mental health advocacy community to pass legislation in 2023 to protect people with serious mental illness from the death penalty. This effort will reduce the size of death row, expose the way the death penalty targets the most vulnerable, and shift the statewide conversation about the death penalty.
