Media Campaign
Winter/Spring 2009
Maryland Citizens Against State Executions

We have led a high-visibility media campaign as part of a major effort to repeal Maryland’s death penalty law. We have written a series of published OpEds, arranged editorial board visits, prepared remarks, developed advertising and done ongoing outreach to media to raise the profile of this campaign. We worked closely with advocates and lobbyists and helped organize a press conference with two former governors, a former senator and other elected officials to discuss their opposition to capital punishment. The campaign culminated with passage of a landmark bill that places the nation’s tightest restrictions on the kinds of cases in which the death penalty can be sought.
