We’re closer than ever.
This fall support for the death penalty plunged to its lowest level since 1972. You made that happen. You stood by us year after year, and now even red states and Republican lawmakers are leading the charge.
This year you’ve literally saved lives:
- In Virginia, where we successfully worked with conservatives to block the execution of a man with strong claims of innocence. Soon after receiving our letter, the governor commuted the death sentence.
- In Arkansas, where the governor tried to execute eight men in 10 days before the state’s supply of lethal injection drugs expired. I spent weeks on the ground helping our allies mobilize. Half of those executions didn’t happen.
- In Florida, where our organizing has put prosecutors on notice, almost 200 death sentences are up for reconsideration and some have been overturned for good.
Thank you for making this possible. Your tax-deductible gift today means we can get even closer to a world without executions tomorrow.
