Albuquerque, NM - The Governor signed legislation on March 18, 2009 to repeal the death penalty that took effect on July 1, 2009.  After 12 years of working for repeal in New Mexico, we are thrilled that we have abolished the death penalty, and want to honor our promise to the murder victim family members by getting the victims' bills in this package passed.

In 2011, legislation will once again be advanced to serve the needs of victims, including a bill that would protect employees when they must take time from work to attend court hearings or trials.

We can't thank our members and supporters enough - you tirelessly worked for repeal for many years, and we accomplished our goal thanks to your dedication.  Now let's finish what we started and truly put victims' families first in New Mexico!

NM Repeal is a statewide, grassroots coalition formed in 1997 by a concerned group of citizens that has now grown to over 4,000 individual members and 140 supporting organizations in 2009.  We worked to repeal the death penalty in New Mexico and replace it with life without parole.  Now we support legislation that would divert the millions of dollars wasted each year on the death penalty in New Mexico into programs for murder victims' families.
