Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The first step for getting involved with DRSP is attending an informational session, held on Zoom. These typically last about 45 minutes. Our next sessions will be:
    Wednesday, August 19, 2-3pm Eastern (11a-12pm Pacific)
    Saturday, August 22, 2-3pm Eastern (11a-12pm Pacific)
    Wednesday, September 16, 2-3pm Eastern (11a-12pm Pacific)
    Monday, September 21, 7-8pm Eastern (4-5pm Pacific)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Sign up using the online form<\/a> and you will receive the Zoom information to join one of the above sessions. If you do not receive an email, please contact us at drsp@brethren.org<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. After you attend the informational session, you can decide if you want to commit to writing to a person on death row, at least one letter per month. If so, fill out the form that will be shared at the info session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. We will send you contact information for a person on death row who has requested a pen pal. We’ll let you know if they prefer to communicate via snail mail or electronic messaging through an app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. After you receive the information, which comes with guidelines for writing<\/a>, it will be time to write and mail or send an electronic message to the person on death row. And then eagerly await a response!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. If you have questions or concerns that are not addressed in the frequently asked questions page<\/a>, please contact us<\/a>.
