Dear friend,

I wanted to make sure you knew about this free event we're organizing near you.

At 7PM on Tuesday, October 2nd at The First Mennonite Church in Bluffton, four distinguished panelists are coming together to discuss their experiences with Ohio's death penalty and the recommendations that were handed down by the Ohio Supreme Court Task Force earlier this year (still confused as to what the recommendations are? Check out the interactive tool on our website).

This will be a unique experience to hear voices of experience on Ohio's death penalty system. Here's who will be there:

 

Derrick Jamison, who survived nearly 20 years on death row in Ohio before being exonerated and freed in 2005.
Terry J. Collins, who, as Director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, oversaw more than 30 executions.
Charles Keith, who has both lost a loved one to murder and who’s brother was on Ohio’s death row before his sentence was commuted by Governor Strickland.
Jon Paul Rion, a member of the Ohio Supreme Court Joint Task Force to Review the Administration of Ohio’s Death Penalty.

Don't miss what is sure to be a capitivating exchange by these individuals. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesdsay, October 14th at The First Mennonite Church!

Please share this information with others and encourage them to attend with you, or instead of you if you cannot make it. To get more info and to spread the word, download the flyer.

If you're a faith leader, you're invited to an exclusive luncheon for discussion with our speakers and to receive a special briefing on OTSE’s Faith Leader Initiative. Please contact abe@otse.org for details if you help lead a faith community or if you would like to make sure your faith community leader(s) are invited.

Yours,
