NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty: orgs & individuals from across the political spectrum committed to death penalty abolition.

In just one month, Oklahoma plans to begin the systematic execution of 25 individuals, despite serious concerns regarding the state's capital punishment procedures.

A moratorium should be placed until the state heeds the call from its citizens for reform.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has overturned South Carolina death-row prisoner Quincy Allen's death sentence, holding that he was provided ineffective representation in the penalty phase of his capital trial. https://t.co/P1jWSJIj2M @DPInfoCtr @justice360sc

BREAKING—The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has granted a stay of execution to Ramiro Gonzales and directed the trial court to consider his claim that his death sentence was a product of false testimony concerning his alleged future dangerousness. @DPInfoCtr @TCADPdotORG

3 more days until Arizona intends to resume executions. This time it is of an elderly, blind, #Navajo man who has been on death row for over 40 yrs. Then 6 days ltr, another one. Visit https://t.co/36O3hL9Ux3 to help us stop the executions of #ClarenceDixon & #VirgilPresnell!

Even as he was being executed, Missouri didn’t care enough to correctly spell Carman Deck’s name. Contrast that lack of concern with the content of Mr. Deck’s statement. @MADPMO @DPInfoCtr

South Carolina plans to execute #RichardMoore by firing squad on Friday, April 29. If carried out, this would be the state's first execution in more than 10 years.

Take action NOW to oppose this execution.

#SouthCarolina death-row prisoner who designated firing squad calls death row choices ‘unconstitutional.’ https://t.co/S2JZEhPGPu @washingtonpost @andreapsalcedo @justice360sc @DPInfoCtr #RichardMoore #deathpenalty

[American Constitution Society @acslaw]

It's 2022. . . And yet, South Carolina is preparing to execute #RichardMoore this week by . . . firing squad. You read that right. By FIRING SQUAD. This is proof of just how archaic and cruel the death penalty is. #AbolishtheDeathPenalty

[American Constitution Society @acslaw]

You can help. Join in asking Gov Lee to grant clemency to #OscarSmith on the grounds that his conviction was based in part on discredited junk science and at least two jurors have said they didn't intend for Smith to be executed. Sign the petition today! 🧵https://t.co/tksJxzKdCZ

After three decades on TN death row, DNA evidence could exonerate #OscarSmith, if the state doesn’t execute him first. Sentenced to death based on junk science and ill-informed and biased jurors, his 4/21 execution would put “finality” above justice. #AbolishedtheDeathPenalty 🧵

[American Constitution Society @acslaw]

There are 4 executions scheduled for April. TX and TN are preparing to execute two people w/ credible claims of innocence, and SC plans to bring back the electric chair or firing squad. These horrors underscore the barbaric injustice of capital punishment. #AbolishtheDeathPenalty

Renny Cushing was a friend and hero to so many. As we collectively remember and celebrate his legacy, we also wanted to raise up this gofundme page that has been kindly set up to support Renny's family with expenses.

We are heartsick over the passing of our dear friend and civil rights champion, @rennycushing. Renny dedicated his life to advancing death penalty abolition. Today, NH lives without the death penalty in no small part because of his leadership and resolve. His legacy lives on.

#Ohio Governor Issues 3 More Reprieves, Reschedules Executions for 2025 https://t.co/c1FEMXJ8Q6 #deathpenalty

[American Constitution Society @acslaw]

The first execution, last Oct, saw #JohnMarionGrant vomit + convulse before succumbing, prompting death row inmates in OK, including #DonaldAnthonyGrant, to request death by firing squad, rather than face a similarly torturous death.

We must abolish the death penalty. (3/3)
