Halt the Arkansas Mass Executions
Follow the lead of civilized states and nations and put a stop to state-sanctioned killings. Halt the executions of the eight inmates scheduled to die between April 17 and April 27, 2017.
Why is this important?
I have worked with some of the inmates who are scheduled to be executed. They participated in a creative writing workshop I helped to lead between May and October, 2016. They committed heinous crimes in the past, and I grieve for the families of their victims, but there is NOTHING to be gained from the state's killing of them.
