Today is World Day Against the Death Penalty — and Governor Gavin Newsom’s birthday. We are calling on Newsom to make his birthday wish “to end the death penalty in California” come true. He has the power to commute the sentences of everyone on the state’s death row before the end of his term. California’s death row is the largest in the nation — more than 560 people — despite Newsom imposing a moratorium on executions in 2019 and the state not having carried out an execution since 2006. TAKE ACTION NOW: Tell Governor Newsom to commute all death sentences in California NOW!
