Friends,

The ACLU of Nevada and the Nevada Coalition Against the Death Penalty 
invite and encourage you to participate in the upcoming National Weekend 
of Faith in Action on the Death Penalty (WFA).

We are pleased to present a truly inspiring speaker, Marietta 
Jaeger-Lane, of Murder Victims Families for Human Rights, who will tell 
the story of the abduction and murder of her young daughter and Marietta 
’s subsequent journey from rage to healing and forgiveness. We will also 
be showing the film, "The Exonerated", a docu-drama of the true stories 
of six exonerated death row inmates, with discussions to follow. All 
events are free and open to the public.

The WFA is sponsored nationally by Amnesty International and presents an 
opportunity for faith communities and human rights activists to examine 
their beliefs and learn more about the death penalty. Locally, the 
Coalition has organized the following events, with six religious groups 
opening their doors to host our featured speaker, show the film and/or 
present a sermon on capital punishment.
