Death Penalty Sub Today!
The Iowa Senate will have a subcommittee today (Wednesday, February 26) on their newest attempt to reinstate the death penalty (SF 320). You can take action by emailing your legislators, emailing the members of the subcommittee and committee, attending the subcommittee meeting virtually and commenting, or adding written comments.
The bill allows the death penalty for people who intentionally kill a correctional officer or peace officer, and includes exemptions for individuals who are mentally ill or have an intellectual disability. LWVIA adamantly opposes all attempts to reinstate the death penalty.
Join the subcommittee today (2/26) at 4:30 p.m.
