This summer, NCCADP invites you to join a 3-part event series exploring what these past 2 decades have revealed and what they teach us about the future.

Free & open to the public. https://t.co/ICBk9LfCyG

We are delighted to share that our coalition has now grown to 27 organizations. Last week during our spring coalition call, members unanimously voted to welcome 2 new partners into our movement.

Please join us in warmly welcoming the NC NAACP (@ncnaacp) and Deep Time to NCCADP!

NC NAACP hardly needs an introduction. Their longstanding leadership in civil rights advocacy strengthens our shared work to challenge systems of injustice and build a more equitable future.

Gov. DeSantis has signed a death warrant for U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Dusty Spencer who was sentenced to death for the 1992 murder of Karen Spencer. His warrant was signed the day after Memorial Day. The execution is scheduled for June 25 at 6 pm. https://t.co/metGu0l0Q9

Florida has executed #RichardKnight. He was the 14th person executed in the US and the 7th person killed by Florida in 2026.

Tennessee tried to execute Tony Carruthers today – and failed.

We rejoice that his execution has been called off for now. Gov. Lee has issued a 1-year reprieve.

This botched execution attempt is another example of the tortures of the death penalty. https://t.co/8foJYzv1bF

Arizona has executed #LeroyMcGill. He was the 13th person executed in the US and the 1st person killed by Arizona in 2026.

Texas has executed #EdwardBusby.

He was the 12th person executed in the US and the 4th person killed by Texas in 2026. Edward's death also marks Texas' 600th execution in the modern death penalty era.

After 9 death warrants and three last meals, an Oklahoma County trial court has issued an order authorizing Richard Glossip's release on bail. https://t.co/swltu4uvMk @RealRichGlossip @dknightlaw @OKCADP @CCATDP @WTIUSA @innocence @uscedp

Oklahoma has executed #RaymondJohnson. He was the 11th person executed in the US and the 2nd person killed by Oklahoma in 2026.

We hold in our hearts everyone carrying the weight of this grief today, including the loved ones of Raymond and his victims.

Today we honor every mother among us, including those behind bars and those carrying love across impossible distances.

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at NCCADP. 🩵

Tennessee plans to execute Tony Carruthers on May 21 despite unresolved questions surrounding his conviction. Notably, untested fingerprint and DNA evidence could point to someone else.

Please urge TN officials to allow the evidence to be tested! https://t.co/0lxNnzPPMC

Ever wondered what restorative justice looks like in practice? Recently, we gathered with a group of impacted people in Winston-Salem for a day of Circles and healing.

Florida has executed #JamesHitchcock.

For ~50 years, he maintained his innocence of the murder that resulted in his death sentence. His brother later confessed to the crime.

He was the 9th person executed in the US and the 6th person killed by Florida in 2026.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Today, TX plans to execute #JamesBroadnax for a double murder that someone else has confessed to. Please call Gov. Abbott's office and urge him to issue a 30-day stay.

▸ TX residents, call 800-843-5789
▸ People outside of TX, call 512-463-2000

[NC Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty @NCCADP]

NCCADP urges @GregAbbott_TX to stop the execution of James Broadnax tonight.

When the stakes are as high as life and death, there can be no margin of error. Another man has confessed to the crimes that resulted in James' death sentence.

Please issue a 30-day reprieve.
