Everytown for Gun Safety has listed the ten states with the highest rate of gun deaths in 2025. Nine of them are death penalty states. So much for the death penalty as an instrument of public safety. @Everytown @uscedp @CCATDP @RightOnCrime @DeathPenaltyAct @WCADP @AssoECPM

FADP just delivered thousands of petition signatures, in collaboration with @DeathPenaltyAct and @CMNEndtheDP, to Governor DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency urging them to stop Michael King’s execution, scheduled for 6 pm tonight. bit.ly/SpareMichael

On appeal, the State agreed to reduce the trigger man's sentence to life without parole, however, the State inexplicably upheld Sonny’s death sentence. Let that sink in, the man who fired the gun lived out his life in prison; Sonny is scheduled to die Thursday.

Today, we are fighting in Alabama for the life of Charles "Sonny" Burton who has spent more than 30 years on Alabama’s death row for a killing the State agrees he neither committed nor ordered. He wasn’t even in the building when the shooting occurred.

#AndreThomas competency for execution hearing postponed after concerns that Thomas is too mentally ill to be safely transferred to the hearing from the Wayne Scott Unit, where Texas houses its most mentally ill prisoners. Read more here: tinyurl.com/3scthfrh

Xavier was given a 25 year prison sentence at age 13. Now, he’s leading a national movement as the Executive Director of the Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth. We believe in the power of second chances because our leaders are living proof of them.
