Re: Sign the petition: End the death penalty

Friend, [sign the petition: End the death penalty.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The death penalty is riddled with [inequalities]( and [fails to deter crime](. It disproportionately affects marginalized communities and often overlooks the critical needs of mental health and trauma in those it targets. Support for the death penalty is [decreasing]( as more and more Americans understand that not only is it inhumane and unjust, but it’s also extremely [expensive]( and can have a negative impact on our society. Join us and demand an end to this archaic, inhumane punishment now! [Sign the petition: End the death penalty.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding an end to the death penalty: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign the petition: End the death penalty.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Capital punishment is a flawed, unjust, and outdated practice. At its core, it is a discriminatory practice, plagued by systemic biases, inadequate legal representation, and junk science. The likelihood of receiving a death sentence is [higher]( for individuals who are Black, economically disadvantaged, or when the victim is white. Those facing the death penalty often have backgrounds [marked]( by severe trauma, mental health issues, or intellectual disabilities. It fails to serve as a deterrent to crime and does not aid in the healing process for victims. Rehabilitation, not punishment, should be the cornerstone of our penal system. [Sign the petition: End the death penalty.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Justice should not come in the form of state-sponsored executions but in upholding the sanctity of life, even in the face of heinous crimes. Support for capital punishment is waning, with more states enacting execution [moratoriums]( or abolishing it entirely. The death penalty has no place in a just society. Together, we must prevent a return to inhumane practices and continue our fight for a just and equitable justice system.
