Friend,

As our nation faces a reckoning over our criminal justice system and institutional racism, we cannot leave the death penalty out of the conversation -- especially after the Trump administration has started executing people under capital punishment after a 17-year pause.

Capital punishment is a cruel, racist, and flawed practice that Ilhan is working to abolish. Will you add your name next to hers to call for a ban on the federal death penalty?

SIGN THE PETITION: [link removed]

While more than 70% of countries around the world have abolished the death penalty, the United States has taken a giant step backward by resuming federal executions. And from arrests to sentencing to imposition, junk science and racial disparities plague the capital punishment process. In fact, people convicted of killing white victims are 17 times more likely to be executed under the death penalty than defendants convicted of killing Black victims. The death penalty doesn't achieve justice -- it only widens existing racial and economic disparities and perpetuates violence.

Add your name next to Ilhan's: Ban the federal death penalty now: [link removed]

Thank you for speaking out to end this horrific practice once and for all.
