Challenges for SAFE California

The May newsletter from the Catholic Mobilizing Network to end the Death Penalty has an interviews with California Catholic Conference Executive Director Ned Dolesji, who outlines the challenges ahead:

There is a need to get conservatives on board and the voters in the Latino community, many who either don’t know the Catholic position on the use of the death penalty or who don’t oppose it. We need to emphasize more that Catholic social teaching on the death penalty as a life issue, along with abortion and euthanasia. The bishops are ready to step forward on the death penalty, especially in this phase of the campaign. In May and June some will use their daily or weekly radio programming to reach out, in particular, to the Catholic Latino population. Many Latinos are most comfortable with radio messages, so this is critical to the campaign.
