NEW YORKERS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY
LONG ISLAND CHAPTER EVENT
On Human Rights Day, Sunday, December 10th, you are invited to participate in a forum that speaks to some of the most difficult moral issues surrounding the death penalty: the ability of murder victims’ family members to find peace after the death of their loved one.
SPEAKERS:
CAROLEE BROOKS, a single mother of three, will tell of her personal odyssey: her heartbrack, soul-searching, and reconciliation following her son’s murder in 1991. Carolee advocates for healing, justice, rehabilitation, and compassion in our society rather than vengeance as a solution to physical and emotional violence.
REV. DR. LOUISE STOWE-JOHNS is an ordained minister. From 1984 to 1990, she
served as a prison chaplain in Alabama where she founded a Victim-Offender
Reconciliation Program. From 1997 to 2001, she was a consultant in restorative justice and prison ministry with the General Board of Global Ministries.
