USA - The Green National Committee is voting on a resolution opposing the death penalty

The Green National Committee is voting on a resolution opposing the death penalty. The proposal was sponsored by the California Green Party. Resolution 382 would put the Green Party of the United States on record opposing the death penalty. The Green Party already opposes the death penalty. This resolution is in response to the Green Party of Mexico, El Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM), which has been publicly advocating a return to the death penalty as part of an anti-kidnapping campaign in Mexico. As of now the vote stands at 54 in support, 23 opposed, and 5 abstentions, with representatives of 35 states or caucuses voting. The quorum requirement has been met and a majority vote is needed for passage.
