Mention of the Day (MOTD)
Sep 28, 2024
rosenbergmotd, ExonerateEthel

Today is Ethel Rosenberg's birthday. The labor activist, loving wife and mother was charged and convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage alongside her husband, Julius, during the height of the McCarthy era Red Scare. They were sentenced to death and unjustly executed 71 years ago in 1953, orphaning their two young sons.

On this day in 2015, NYC Council members gathered for a ceremony on the steps of City Hall, with three generations of Ethel's descendants present, to issue a proclamation in her honor, stating in part that "the government wrongfully executed Ethel Rosenberg."

Now it's time for President Biden to acknowledge that Ethel Rosenberg's conviction and execution were wrongful.

On her birthday, please add your name to the petition calling for her exoneration: www.rfc.org/ethel
