About this Event

This year marks the 15th anniversary of Illinois abolishing the death penalty. In celebration of this milestone, world-renowned anti-death penalty activist Sr. Helen Prejean and DePaul University are honoring former Gov. Pat Quinn and his role in championing a consistent ethic of life.

Let us lift up the personal journeys of those coming to consciousness about the moral wrongness of the death penalty and doing what must be done to abolish it. Join us for personal stories, music, and reflection on April 24 at DePaul University.
