Look at Those Young'uns Go!
This Spring, Texas Students Against the Death Penalty did their first ever alternative spring break to end the death penalty. There's an mtv video about it that everyone can check out here:

TCASK is in the process of forming a student caucus of TCASK for both high school and college students, kicked off at a state-wide student conference at MTSU in the fall and
then (hopefully) an alternative spring break which we hope will include a tour of death row, a day on the hill visiting legislators, a rally, meetings with death row exonerees, victims' family members, and death row family members, and a day of grass roots moratorium resolution gathering. To win this fight, and soon, we need to energy and passion that students bring. We hope that the student caucus is a way to bring all of that energy together. Anyone who's interested or who has ideas should contact Alex Wiesendanger at alex@tcask.org or call the state office. The kids know how to git 'er done!
