We joined a coalition of 46 international organizations from around the world today to issue an open letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor), urging him to take action to commute all death sentences in the state.

Governor Newsom has the power to directly grant clemency for about 40% of those with death sentences in California. He can ask the state Supreme Court to recommend commuting the death sentences for the others.

Together, we're asking Governor Gavin Newsom to take action to commute all death sentences in California, a move that would significantly change the face of the death penalty in the U.S., as well as create new global momentum toward abolition.

Tennessee’s botched attempt to execute Tony Carruthers today spotlights how the death penalty truly is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. Nobody should be treated this way. Instead of issuing a one-year reprieve from execution, we call on Governor Lee to end this cruelty and commute Tony Carruthers death sentence. https://t.co/7m2x43MlT1

Fingerprints on the murder weapon don’t match Richard.
They don’t match the victim either.
And Florida still plans to execute him this week.
This is exactly why the death penalty is dangerous.

☎️ Call 850-717-9337: "Turn back now, Florida."

Global executions reach a new high in Amnesty International's annual report, with Iran leading the surge. The report notes a significant rise in executions for drug-related offenses, accounting for nearly half of all known global executions.

Four people wrongfully accused of the 1991 Austin yogurt shop murders have been declared innocent using DNA evidence — including Innocence Project of Texas clients Maurice Pierce and Forrest Welborn. Congratulations to the @innocencetexas team on this hard-fought victory.

A key fact is missing from the news coverage of this execution — Melvin Trotter's jury did not unanimously vote for death. In almost every other state in the U.S., he would never even have been on death row. @FLDeathPenalty @FADPorg @uscedp @ABAdueprocess #deathpenalty

After 40 years on California's death row, Kevin Cooper alleges that evidence in his 1983 murder conviction was tampered with. His attorneys now seek to prove racial bias in his charging and sentencing decisions.

#California spends billions $ on the #deathpenalty & thankfully hasn’t executed anyone in 2 decades.
Research shows #deathpenalty does NOT deter crime.
It’s time to #CommuteTheRow & invest in real public safety solutions. #HumanRights
