Don't Kill For Me: End the Culture of Death
Say Hello to 1,000 Executions and check out the photos of regular folks who oppose the death penalty. If you make one of yourself and e-mail it, they will add it to the list. If you need a saying for your sign, try these:
Not in My Name.
Choose Life, End the Death Penalty
An Eye for An Eye Leaves the Whole World Blind
Execute Justice, Not People
Update: More than 380 towns around the world joined forces Thursday to condemn the death penalty.
Rome's Colosseum, Brussels' Atomium, Madrid's Santa Ana Square, Buenos Aires' Obelisk and the Moneda Palace in Santiago were being lit up as part of the "Cities for Life" initiative, according to the organiser, the Catholic Sant' Egidio Community in Rome.
Many of the other towns and cities that have signed up to the initiative - around half of them in Italy - were hosting vigils or rallies to mark the day. "Capital punishment supports a culture of death instead of fighting it, and puts the state on the same level as those who kill," said Sant'Egidio spokesman Mario Marazziti.
