The death penalty is a draconian, cruel practice that has no place in a just society
The death penalty has no place in a just society.Add your name to become a grassroots co-sponsor of my legislation to end the death penalty.
The death penalty is a cruel, unjust practice that has no place in our society. That’s why, earlier this year, I introduced legislation to end the death penalty and why I reiterated that call as part of the People’s Justice Guarantee, which lays out a blueprint for dismantling and transforming our criminal injustice system.
But I need you with me in this fight for justice.
The only way we will make progress on this vitally important issue is by raising our collective voices and demanding an end to this draconian punishment.
Add your name right now to join me in the fight to end the death penalty on the federal level. Together we can end this cruel practice.
End the Death Penalty
Just a few days ago, a man named Rodney Reed was scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas. Rodney Reed has been living in a 6x9 cell for 23 hours a day for 22 years.
No weapon was found. No forensics implicated him. None of his witnesses were called. No jury of his peers. And yet, he was sentenced to death.
His life was spared not thanks to the courts or the courage of lawmakers, but thanks to the activists from across the country who took action and shined a light. Because of them, Rodney Reed now has the chance to prove his innocence.
That is the kind of power our collective voices have. We can make real change when we fight together against injustice.
Please sign onto my bill to abolish the death penalty once and for all.
Thank you for all you do to power our movement. I am so grateful to have your support.
In solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
