Bill Lucero, a longtime friend and volunteer of Kansas Coalition Against the Death Penalty is setting out to ride 100 miles on his bike, in a single day, in order to raise awareness about the death penalty repeal efforts in Kansas. Lucero will start from his home near Auburn, KS, Tuesday, June 18th, and will be accompanied by several friends from the Kaw Valley Bike Club’s Ol’ Phogeys. Bill will finish at the KCADP office located at 3rd & Kansas Ave in KCK. In explaining his ride Bill said, “Forty years following my father’s murder I am still working for repeal of the death penalty in Kansas. I know first-hand that capital punishment will not bring solace or closure to murder victim family members. Rather, I believe this method of retribution only hardens affected families and perpetuates an endless cycle of suffering.” For more information check out ksabolition.org
