The Boalt Death Penalty Discourse Project aims to engage discussion among and provide information to the Boalt community about the death penalty, especially as it relates to California. It is non-partisan group, with the purpose of creating a discourse that everyone - regardless of their position on capital punishment - can engage in. Upcoming activities include a documentary film series and speakers to address various aspects of capital punishment in the law and in the broader social context. DPDP is also a rich resource for those students who wish to find internships, write papers, learn about new capital cases, or simply stay abreast of news related to the death penalty.
Additionally, DPDP has a subset devoted to anti-death penalty activism. Through this subgroup, students work with Bay Area organizations to end the death penalty in California and throughout the United States. Among other activities, the members of this part of DPDP attend local events, including executions at San Quentin, conduct campaigns of writing op-ed pieces for newspapers, and fund-raise to attend national conferences for abolition.
