On Wednesday, February 12, from 9 am to 2 pm, North Georgia United Methodists will participate in an Advocacy Day at the Georgia State Capitol organized by Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.

This event aims to bring attention to an issue before Georgia state legislators—ending the death penalty for individuals with intellectual disabilities. It will offer participants an opportunity to engage with lawmakers on this matter. Registration is open, and the day begins at Trinity United Methodist Church in Atlanta. (Register here.)

That same day, Bishop Robin Dease will serve as Chaplain in the State Senate.

This work is close to the heart of United Methodists. Our Social Principles call on United Methodists to oppose the death penalty (read here).
