Hands Off Cain

PETITIONS · 01 ACTIVE

Your signature can stop death penalty and death by imprisonment .

The signatures we collect do not just sit on a page. Since 1993, the appeals promoted by Hands Off Cain have reached governments, parliaments, and the United Nations. Some of these have helped shift decisions that once seemed immovable. The appeal which was the precursor to the Universal Moratorium on Executions, affirmed by a vote of the UN General Assembly in 2007, is still just as relevanat today. We invite you to sign it along with the other appeals to stop the death penalty and death by imprisonment.
