Fellowship of Reconciliation: for a World of Peace, Justice and Nonviolence
Mid-Missouri Fellowship of Reconciliation
The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) is a group composed of people from many faiths, and no particular faith --
all coming together to support nonviolence and justice.
Offering people of conscience an action response to a morally-impaired U.S. foreign policy.

A Report on the Injustice in the Application of the Death Penalty in Missouri (1978-1996)(Microsoft Word document)
Researchers from Missouri and New York found that about one of every 100 homicides in Missouri resulted in a death sentence during that 18-year period. Race of the victim and race plus socio-economic status of the defendant were found to be great indicators of who ultimately received a death sentence.

    Columbia businesses calling for an execution moratorium

    Please Patronize the following Columbia businesses which have endorsed a resolution calling for a study commission and execution moratorium in Missouri. (So far more than 50 local entities-- houses of worship and organizations, in addition to the businesses-- have endorsed the public policy and signed a resolution). Below, you will also find contact information and in some cases the website for the business when we could find one, so you can determine their hours of operation and other particulars. Please thank the owners/workers for their business's support of this reasonable public policy and do reward the locally-owned businesses for their progressive and wise stand on this matter, with your consumer dollars, whether you live here or when you visit Columbia

    Urge other businesses not on this list, which you patronize-- to endorse a resolution calling for a study commission and moratorium on executions. Contact 573-449-4585 for more details to join and/or support the campaign.

    Thank you in advance for being a conscientious consumer and for joining the effort to help create a more just and fair society.
