How Can You Support KADP and Make a Difference?

At Kids Against the Death Penalty (KADP), we believe in creating a world where every life is valued, and the death penalty is a thing of the past. If you share our passion for justice, there are several ways you can get involved and support our cause. Your voice and actions can make a real impact in the fight against the death penalty, especially in Texas, where it is still a harsh reality for many.

1. Follow Us on social media - One of the easiest ways to stay informed and help is by following our Facebook page. We regularly update it with important news regarding executions, legislative developments, and stories from Texas’ death row. By staying informed, you can help spread the word and keep others aware of what’s happening in our state.

2. Attend Our Events - KADP hosts and attends a variety of events throughout the year, ranging from educational workshops to peaceful protests. These events are not only informative but filled with kind-hearted individuals who share the same vision. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or new to the cause, our events offer a welcoming environment to learn, connect, and take action. Keep an eye on our Facebook page or website for updates on upcoming events near you!

3. Contact the Governor’s Office - One of the most direct ways you can make a difference is by contacting the Governor of Texas to voice your opposition to the death penalty. You can either call the Governor’s Office at (512) 406-5852 to ask for clemency on upcoming executions or share why you believe the death penalty, and the law of parties, should be abolished. Every call matters!

Prefer writing instead? Send a letter to:

Office of the Governor

P.O. Box 12428

Austin, TX 78711-2428

We know it can be challenging to find the right words, so we’ve created a pre-written letter that you can print, sign, and send. It’s a great start for those unsure of how to express their thoughts, and you can personalize it if you wish.

4. Read and Share Stories from Death Row Families - Understanding the personal impact of the death penalty is crucial. On our website, we share stories of families who have loved ones on death row. By reading these stories, you can better grasp the human cost of this inhumane practice. Share these stories with your friends, family, and social networks to help spread awareness.

5. Create a Sign, Amplify Your Voice - At many of our events, we set up a "create-a-sign" table to encourage newcomers to express their thoughts and opinions. Whether you’re attending one of our rallies or hosting your own gathering, a homemade sign is a powerful way to get your message out there. We encourage everyone to make their voices heard!

6. Do Your Own Research and Spread the Word - Educating yourself and others is a powerful form of activism. Take time to dive into research about the death penalty, its history, and the numerous flaws in the system. The more you know, the more equipped you'll be to engage in conversations and challenge misconceptions. By simply talking about the issue with those around you, you can contribute to the growing movement to abolish the death penalty.

Together, we can create a future where justice doesn't involve taking lives. Whether through social media, writing letters, attending events, or spreading awareness, every action counts. Thank you for standing with KADP as we work toward a more just and compassionate world.
