I missed last week because it was my very first Mommy's day as a Mom and I took my baby boy to a little bay south of here called Akumal where you can swim with stunning sea turtles and watch them poke their little heads out of the water for air. It was fantastic. Best Mommy's day so far ;)

This week I'm going to list some Facebook pages that you can become a fan of that are very worthy of your fandom. In no particular order:

1. Families Against Mandatory Minimums - FAMM works to change mandatory sentencing laws through the legislative process on the federal and state levels, participation in precedent-setting legal cases and by educating the public.

2. Free Efrén Paredes, Jr. - We are working to free Efrén Paredes, Jr., a wrongly convicted Latino former high school student who was arrested at age 15 for a crime he did not commit. The crime occurred in St. Joseph, Michigan in 1989. Efrén is now 36-years-old and remains in prison.

3. California Crime Victims Against the Death Penalty - California Crime Victims for Alternatives to the Death Penalty is a coalition of families, friends, and loved ones of murder victims who oppose the death penalty.

4. Bearing False Witness - Bearing False Witness produces content and collects news and commentary relating to wrongful convictions.

5. Students Against the Death Penalty - Students Against the Death Penalty (SADP) works to end the death penalty through campaigns of public education and the promotion of youth activism.

6. Help Free Paul Cortez - On March 23, 2007, an unimaginable, horrific injustice took place: an innocent man was sentenced to 25 years to life for a crime he did not commit. We have created this non-profit organization to tell the rightful story of Paul Cortez and his fight for a proper opportunity to prove his innocence.

7. Death Penalty Information Center - The Center was founded in 1990 and prepares in-depth reports, issues press releases, conducts briefings for journalists, and serves as a resource to those working on this issue. The Center is widely quoted and consulted by all those concerned with the death penalty.

8. Prison Fellowship - To seek the transformation of prisoners and their reconciliation to God, family, and community through the power and truth of Jesus Christ.
