Hundreds of students and community members left their signatures on white cards before leaving Gonzaga University Friday night, expressing to state legislatures that they don’t want Washington to be a “killing a state.”

Sister Helen Prejean, best-selling author and human rights activist, will speak about the death penalty at Gonzaga University on Oct. 11 in a program titled, “The Journey Toward Justice.” Her lecture follows a 7 p.m. performance of a one-act play “Dead Man Walking,” a reading adapted from the Oscar-nominated film by the same name, according to a Gonzaga press release.
