On October 10, to mark the 19th World Day Against the Death Penalty, we are partnering with the NC Council of Churches to host a panel of voices with lived experience to discuss faith and the death penalty. Panelists include George Wilkerson, who is living on NC’s death row; Andre Smith, who teaches Buddhism to men in prison and lost his son to homicide; and Rev.
