The Justice and Peace Action Team of Greater Kansas City invites you to join us for an information meeting with Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (MADP) on Tuesday, January 17, at 7:00 p.m. at the Woods Chapel Congregation, 500 NE Woods Chapel Rd, Lee’s Summit, MO. If you are not able to attend the meeting in person, a Zoom link will be provided.

Elyse Max, co-director of MADP, will share about MADP’s work and how we can participate in their Advocacy Day on January 31 in Jefferson City. We will learn how to join them under the dome to talk with our elected officials about ending the death penalty in Missouri.

Questions? or for a Zoom link, email info@jpatkc.org
