Tony Carruthers could be innocent – but without your intervention, Tennessee could execute him on May 21st without considering the full evidence. Please help us demand DNA testing!
With 565 people, California has the largest death row in the country, and one of the largest in the world.
The death penalty is not an effective response to violence. Not only does the death penalty fail to deter crime, but it takes precious tax-payer dollars away from more effective programs that have actually been shown to make our communities safer.
After decades of progress for our movement, a coordinated effort now seeks to expand and normalize the death penalty. Our coalition of 60+ partners has a strategy to push back. We need you with us.
“Simply by being a human person, we have an inalienable right to life, and you cannot entrust the government ever to have the wisdom or the know-how, or the purity of heart, to be able to carry the death penalty out.”
“Every successful repeal of the death penalty in the last 20 years has included support from Republican legislators. We expect much more of that in the years to come, and by working in collaboration with the U.S. Campaign to End the Death Penalty and its partners, we can ensure that these efforts continue to be inclusive and bipartisan in the future.”
“We are at a critical juncture in our country’s history with the death penalty, with executions on the rise and new experimental execution methods being promoted in a handful of states despite growing opposition to the death penalty. It is more important than ever that we shine a light on capital punishment’s failures and come together to show growing bipartisan support for ending executions.”
