FullscreenFebruary 12, 2020 * He * Dear *, You made VADP’s success in the past year possible with your generous financial support and your public policy advocacy. Enclosed is our 2019 annual report that describes our accomplishments, financial report, and messages from myself, our Field Director, board President, and supporters. There are many challenges - and opportunities - ahead. We are working to save lives by narrowing the use of the death penalty (e.g., Virginia now has only two people on death row compared to eight five years ago). VADP is continuing to forge new relationships across the political spectrum. We’ve sought bipartisan support for reform of the death penalty and its ultimate end here in Virginia. Just a few weeks ago, the Virginia state Senate passed a bill to end the execution of people with severe mental illness. Paha athe If we don’t achieve abolition in the current legislative session, we will work hard to do so in the 2021 Virginia General Assembly. Our goal continues to be the abolition of capital punishment in the Commonwealth, becoming the first Southern state to achieve this milestone. We'll keep in touch throughout the year, and you can always track our work by going to our website <https://www.vadp.org/>. Sincerely, Michael E. Stone Executive Director
