Death penalty opponents will gather outside the Supreme Court to call for the passage of the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act.
"We are calling for immediate passage of the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act," Rev. Sharon Risher, a board member of Death Penalty Action, said.
Risher lost her mother and other relatives in the Charleston church massacre in 2015, but opposes the death penalty for their killer, Dylann Roof, one of the most notorious inmates on federal death row. "It is especially important to me to be a part of this action on Martin Luther King Day because Rev. King's family opposed the death penalty for the racist who murdered their loved one," Risher added.
