POTSDAM -- David Kaczynski will give a speech entitled "The Anti-Death Penalty Movement: Accomplishments and Current Goals," on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in Kellas Hall Room 106, SUNY Potsdam.

Kaczynski is the executive director of New Yorkers for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (NYADP) and the brother of Theodore Kaczynski, who the media dubbed "The Unabomber" when he was arrested in 1996, after David and his wife Linda approached the FBI with their suspicions that Theodore might be involved in a series of bombings that caused three deaths and numerous injuries over 17 years.

In 1998, David and Linda received a $1 million reward from the Justice Department for their role in the Unabomber investigation, which they subsequently dedicated, minus attorney's fees and taxes, to the victims and their families.

After leading a successful statewide campaign to end New York's capital punishment system, David has focused his organization's work on promoting community initiatives that address the root causes of violence and that provide meaningful assistance to those directly affected.

Prior to joining NYADP, David was assistant director of the Equinox shelter for runaway and homeless youth in Albany, where he counseled and advocated for troubled, neglected and abused youth in the Capital District. Through his life and his work, David has sought solutions to human problems through understanding and compassion as opposed to violence and coercion.

The event is free and open to the public. The venue is handicapped accessible. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session, after which light refreshments will be served.
