The death penalty is cruel, racist, and fundamentally unjust.
That’s why, along with Senator Dick Durbin and a coalition of Congressional leaders, Ayanna sent a letter urging the Department of Justice to keep in place the pause on federal executions and work to abolish the death penalty once and for all.
Will you sign our petition to tell the DOJ to ensure that no more Americans are condemned to death at the hands of our criminal injustice system?

The death penalty disproportionately kills Black, Latinx, and poor people, and does absolutely nothing to make our communities safer. It is a cruel and devastating tool of oppression, and it has no place in our society. The DOJ must act accordingly.
Ayanna is urging the DOJ to take concrete steps, including:
- Rescinding all of the Trump administration’s harmful federal execution amendments, which were part of a historic surge in executions under the Trump administration.
- Continue the current moratorium on federal executions, due to concerns about the application of the death penalty, the disparate impact on people of color, and the alarming number of exonerations of those sentenced.
We need your help to keep up the pressure — so please add your name to urge the Department of Justice to take action now.
Thank you for making your voice heard,
The A-Team
