Stand strong with EJUSA

It’s outrageous.

As I write this, Arkansas is planning to carry out eight executions over ten days starting next week. The state plans to execute so many people so rapidly in order to use up nearly-expired (and dangerous) execution drugs.

EJUSA is standing strong against this extreme move, which goes against the national trend toward repeal. Thanks to you, EJUSA’s expert organizers are providing strategic assistance to our partners in Arkansas, and we are mobilizing diverse voices to speak out against this atrocity across the country.

If you are as outraged as I am, I urge you to help EJUSA stand strong against these executions with a gift of $25, $55, $75, or even $100.

Arkansas’s proposed assembly line of executions is irresponsible, risky, and out of step. Please join us in fighting this outrage every step of the way.

 

Speeding through a record number of executions just to beat a deadline is a new low for the U.S. death penalty. Help EJUSA’s work to halt these executions with a gift today.

Thank you for your continued trust, generosity, and partnership
