We hope that you and your friends, families, neighbors, and pets are safe and recovering from Hurricane Milton. If there is one word to describe this state, and Floridians, it is resilient. We know that many of you are feeling anxious and unsafe right now. We want you to know that we are here to support you and your communities.
Today is the 22nd World Day Against the Death Penalty. Observed every year on October 10, World Day unifies the global abolitionist movement and mobilizes civil society, political leaders, lawyers, public opinion and more to support the call for the universal abolition of capital punishment.
This year’s theme reminds us that the death penalty does not protect anyone and does not make our communities safer. In the spirit of this year’s theme, we invite you to reflect on what truly makes you feel safe.
We encourage you to share your thoughts with us. What makes you feel safe? Whether it’s a person, a community, or a place, we want to hear from you. Send us a message, video, or photo. Your responses will help us underscore the reality that the death penalty is not the solution to public safety.
We can build a safer world without state-sanctioned violence.
Onward,
FADP Team
