In October, SCHR honored #NoDeathPenaltyVA abolitionists at our Frederick Douglass Awards. From @dwaynebetts' keynote remarks: “This must stop. If we judge ourselves by how we treat those who have done the worst, we're failing more than they've failed."

Still trying to wrap my head around Virginia abolishing the #deathpenalty before Pennsylvania. If they can do it, so can we! #nodeathpenaltyVA @padp_org @amnestyusa

Hold on a second while I go check my Bible to find that quote about "some people are so rotten" that all you can do is kill them." Book, verse, anyone? It's got to be in here somewhere. #nodeathpenaltyVA
“The death penalty is lynching’s stepchild” @eji_org #nodeathpenaltyVA SB 1165, which would end the use of #deathpenalty now being debated on Virginia Senate floor. #BlackHistoryMonth @RepRabb @FrankRyanCPA @SenatorMuth @SenSharifStreet @amnestyusa
Virginia's #deathpenalty is deeply entwined with a shameful history of lynching + Jim Crow #nodeathpenaltyVA @amnestyusa SB 1165
Earl Washington Jr came w/in 9 days of execution in Virginia before winning release due to innocence. #deathpenalty risks wrongful executions. #nodeathpenaltyVA
