The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has denied #MelissaLucio's claims of innocence despite the fact that the prosecutor and the judge who sentenced her to death now say she is innocent. #PETITION: https://t.co/S3BlS2pVOg #StopExecutions #FreeHerNow! #FreeMelissaLucio

Outside the Florida Capitol there’s a sign protesting the execution of Edward James, scheduled tomorrow.

He will be the second execution of the year. Background story in next post

[Death Penalty Action @DeathPenaltyAct]

🚨 Edward James faces execution in 12 hours — sentenced by a divided jury, after decades of remorse. 📢@rondesantis: Accountability does NOT require execution. Stop this injustice!📢 (PLEASE NOTE: Execution has been pushed to 8pm ET for unknown reasons)

🕯️Register for the vigil: https://t.co/WhtvF0B665 #StopExecutions @fadporg

Will @RonDeSantis be taking part in the state sponsored murder of #EdwardJames should the abomination go ahead, will he at least witness, if not, why not? #makeitmandatory

[Catholic Mobilizing Network @CMNEndtheDP]

And so even given the reality that #AaronGunches is a volunteer we ask, "how can we help?", and we oppose this execution just as we do every execution — providing a consistent witness that no life is worthless.

[Catholic Mobilizing Network @CMNEndtheDP]

#AaronGunches may be referred to as a death penalty "volunteer," meaning he waived his appeals and asked the state to execute him.

The state is ready to oblige.

Aaron has been told that his life is not worth living, and it seems as though he has come to believe that to be true.

[Death Penalty Action @DeathPenaltyAct]

🚨 #WendellGrissom and #EdwardJames face ex*cution tomorrow.

Wendell ’s legal argues neurological deficits — brain damage and substance dependency — contributed to his crime. Edward was sentenced by a divided jury and has steadfastly shown remorse for his terrible actions.

💔 Join the calls for mercy. "Accountability does NOT require ex*cution. Stop this injustice!"

@katiehobbs Do the right thing. @DeathPenaltyAct

[Katie Hobbs @katiehobbs]

It is possible to hold the simultaneous conviction that both heinous crimes and the death penalty demean us as a society.

[oellie @oellie10]

@katiehobbs as a social worker I am floored and horrified you are letting this happen. Our field dreams that those that adhere to our values reach places of power to uphold the dignity of all people. What a waste this will be. There is still time to intervene. #aarongunches

[Death Penalty Action @DeathPenaltyAct]

🚨 #AaronGunches is set to be executed THIS MORNING in Arizona 🚨

While Aaron elected to be unalived, we stand firmly against ALL state-sponsored k!llings. We are deeply troubled that @katiehobbs is walking back her promise of transparency and moving forward with ex*cutions despite Arizona's history of botched ex*cutions.

🕯️ Register for the virtual vigil at https://t.co/YhiTNH451V #StopExecutions

[Death Penalty Action @DeathPenaltyAct]

Tonight at 6 PM ET, #BradSigmon will be executed by firing squad—the first execution of its kind in 15 years. This is not justice—it is premeditated murder. Stand with us in protest. Join the vigil starting at 5pm ET via Zoom: https://t.co/xLC8XfbFgb or watch live on DPA’s Facebook, X, or YouTube. 🕯️#StopExecutions

[SCADP @SCADeathPenalty]

Brad Sigmon is set to be executed by firing squad tomorrow, March 7. To learn more about how this execution will take place and the procedures that will be followed, please take some time to read this through.

[Susan Baker @SusanBa92489649]

Tell Gov. McMaster to lift Brad Sigmon out of his wheelchair himself and watch him be executed. He has the power to stop it so if he doesn't, he should have to participate. Abolish the Death Penalty!!

[Innocence Project @innocence]

BREAKING: @POTUS commutes 37 federal death sentences, making history and preventing executions of innocent people. A bold step for justice, dignity, and redemption. https://t.co/v0hJjSNoiH #CommuteTheRow

[Adriano Espaillat @RepEspaillat]

The death penalty represents the most inhumane and destructive form of sentencing and has a disparate impact Black and Brown communities.

Read my letter urging @POTUS Biden to commute the sentences of the 40 individuals currently in federal custody on death row.

[Lee Hedgepeth @lee_hedgepeth]

Reminder that Biden has the power to empty federal death row.

[Death Penalty Action @DeathPenaltyAct]

"'If Biden commutes all of those death sentences, Donald Trump will never get to oversee another judicial execution. It would be a great legacy for Biden to live up to his own morals and save dozens of lives while leaving a stinging parting gift for Trump.'" https://t.co/VNHslG3SH4 @POTUS @VP @KamalaHarris @JoeBiden @AyannaPressley @ewarren @SenatorDurbin @SenSherrodBrown
