Floccjustice

Today, a man was tortured due to procedural issues with the application of lethal injection in the state of Tennessee. This is how the death penalty system works, unprofessional, unreliable and inconsistent even for those seeking justice through this abhorrent, flawed practice.

ignored the cries of many, now he must speak.

Eliminate the Death Penalty once and for all.

Thanks Kim Kardashian for ringing the alarm for Tony!!

Pennsylvania Bills to Abolish the Death Penalty pass out of the House Judiciary Committee!

Last night flocc held our first dinner in Philadelphia as we build our coalition to end the death penalty in the state.

A huge thanks to our partners PADP and Conservatives Concerned for standing alongside flocc and many other grassroots partners. A very special shout out to our board member Franky Mills for welcoming the group!

We’re at the Pennsylvania State Capitol this week with Conservatives Concerned and Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the death penalty. Thanks to Rep. Diamond for sponsoring this life saving bill!

"Today, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole for second degree murder are unconstitutional.

"I have long believed this law is unjust and wrong. As Governor, I took legal action in this case arguing to strike down this sentencing framework.

"Common sense and true justice dictate that we need different penalties for different conduct. For example, the getaway driver shouldn’t get the same sentence as the person who pulls the trigger.

"Per the Supreme Court’s order, it is now time for the General Assembly to act and come up with a thoughtful, just process to address those who are serving life sentences for second degree murder."

California has one of the largest death row populations in the United States. Learn the facts, share and ask Californians to urge Governor Gavin Newsom to commute the row.

Governor Kay Ivey has just granted clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton in Alabama. Gov. Ivey is quoted by WSFA 12 News saying,

“I cannot proceed in good conscience with the ex*****on of Mr. Burton under such disparate circumstances. I believe it would be unjust for one participant in this crime to be executed while the participant who pulled the trigger was not."

Save Sonny

Charles "Sonny" Burton is a 75-year-old grandfather, is wheelchair bound, and is set to be executed by gas chamber on March 12 despite not having killed anyone.

Sonny is imprisoned in Alabama, a state which has already carried out 49 ex*****ons in the last two decades.

Sonny didn’t kill anyone—he was at the scene of a murder during a robbery and was charged under the state’s felony murder law. The death sentence of the actual shooter has already been overturned, so why do we even have to plead with Governor Kay Ivey to show mercy in this case, and commute his death sentence? But that’s where we are.

The death penalty is racially biased, racially motivated, discriminatory, and flawed, and it has largely been Black people who have been subjected to this cruel and unusual punishment.

We are urging Alabama Governor Ivey to stop this reckless ex*****on and join us in the fight for a nation no longer plagued by state-sanctioned killings. Let’s fight for Sonny together:
