Liberal Platform
Voted Jan. 9, 2023
No

“Liberal Platform votes NO. The ultimate right to life is non-negotiable, and a truly free society must never grant the state the absolute power to execute its own citizens. Expanding capital punishment to offenses like drug trafficking and treason represents a dangerous overreach of government authority that threatens civil liberties and fundamental human dignity. True public safety and justice are built on strong democratic institutions, fair rule of law, and educational opportunities—not state-sanctioned violence. A government should exist to protect individual rights and foster human potential, not to exercise irreversible, authoritarian control over life and death. We stand firmly against state overreach and for a society grounded in liberty, justice, and human rights. #LiberalPlatform 🗽”

“The Workers' Alliance Of Holzminden votes No. The death penalty doesn't address the root causes of crime — poverty, lack of opportunity, and lack of education. A state that invests in rehabilitation, education, and reintegration actually reduces reoffending; a state that kills educates no one. Expanding capital punishment to drug trafficking in particular punishes the symptom of inequality instead of addressing it. Workers deserve a justice system that reintegrates, not one that discards.”
