1000 Congregations Campaign on the Death Penalty

The 1000 Congregations Campaign enables congregations of all faiths to engage in dialogue, discernment, education and prayer on the death penalty.

The 1000 Congregations Campaign is a coalition project of California People of Faith Working Against the Death Penalty, Progressive Jewish Alliance, and Death Penalty Focus.

Through the 1000 Congregations Campaign, Catholic parishes throughout the state are able to access the newly developed Catholic Mobilizing Network’s curriculum. The Catholic Mobilizing Network, working in close collaboration with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, seeks to prepare Catholics for informed involvement in state campaigns to repeal death penalty laws, expand restorative justice programs and proclaim the Church’s unconditional pro-life teaching, which holds that all human life is sacred and that the dignity of human life is threatened by the death penalty.
