End the death penalty in the United States.

Since the death penalty's reinstatement in 1976 there have been 137 men and 1 woman who have demonstrated their innocence after being falsely accused and sent to death row. Those individuals will affirm that it is despite the system, rather than because of the system, that they have been released. The truth of this claim is clear in the light of the fact that it takes more than 9 years on average for a innocent person on death row to be exonerated, and that exoneration rarely happens in less than five years. Since the system is so fundamentally broken and fallible, and the death penalty is so final, it cannot be maintained, but must be ended. You can release and innocent man from prison, but you cannot release him from the grave.
