  • It's time for repeal of the death penalty in Delaware! No more stalling!
    Earlier this year, Delaware’s Senate voted to repeal the death penalty, but the bill has been stuck in the house Judiciary Committee since May, and several legislators have refused to allow the bill to go to the House floor for a vote. An issue as serious as the death penalty deserves an up or down vote in front of the full House! Here are a few reasons why Delaware’s death penalty is fatally flawed: -->In Delaware, Black defendants who kill White victims are seven times as likely to receive the death penalty as Black defendants who kill Black victims. -->155 men and women have been released from death rows across the country after evidence of their wrongful convictions emerged. Delaware remains at risk of executing an innocent person. -->Study after study shows that the death penalty costs far more than sentencing individuals to life in prison without parole. -->The death penalty traps victims’ families in a decades-long cycle of uncertainty, court hearings, and waiting. In contrast, a sentence of life in prison without parole is a severe punishment that begins immediately and avoids the delays and media circus that come with a death sentence--allowing victims’ families to move on rather than forcing them to endure years of waiting for an execution that may never come.

  • The all-seeing eye
    I am demanding that the Houston police department and all police across the nation are required to wear body cameras to stop this modern day genocide of our Black men and all other people who have been senselessly killed by law enforcement. It's time to take a stand against ALL crime. But most importantly, it's time to take a stand together on decriminalizing or neighborhood and protecting the inhabitants from ALL criminals, including the police.

  • Support NYS Bill A2470 for Geriatric Parole
    Due to the low rates of recidivism for older adults, as compared to younger groups of paroled individuals, we support the establishment of a program to consider the release of geriatric inmates who do not pose a public safety risk. Currently, Bill A2470, which would support such a program, is sitting at committee at the NYS Assembly and we wish to vocalize our support to our local Assembly persons and State Senators for signing such a bill into law.

  • second chance for Tommie Thames
    Tommie Thames made a big mistake as a young kid in trying to hide the body of his friend. The gun went off accidentally and he should have reported it immediately but he was a kid and knew no better. Research shows now that adolescents do not have the brain capacity to think about consequences- they are all in the now and make foolish decisions. But why was this kid given70 years? We need him released now. He has rehabilitated himself and there is no just reason for keeping him.
