Robert Dunham @RDunhamDP · Jun 5 The bill to abolish PA's death penalty received a boost this week from an unexpected source: the United Auto Workers union. @UAWregion9 has included death-penalty repeal in its lobbying efforts this week in Harrisburg. x.com/UAWregion9/s... @padp_org @russdiamond

For the first time, the State House Judiciary Committee passed a bill to eliminate the death penalty in our state. Donate to help turn the pause in executions into a complete end to capital punishment. nfggive.org

Urge President Biden to commute Billie Allen's death sentence and to clear federal death row. Time is short. Billie Allen #commutetherow amnestyusa.org Billie Allen On Federal Death Row Since 1998, Seeking Justice Billie Jerome Allen has been on federal death row for well over half his life.

FREE BILLIE ALLEN #freebillieallen @amnestyusa.bsky.social act.amnestyusa.org/page/125122/...

Time to end the #deathpenalty #Biden. You are running out of time to commute the row. Do the right thing! thehill.com/regulation/c...

Trump will fast-track the executions of those on death row. We need to push Biden to be true to his word and get rid of the death penalty. Attached is a petition to sign to urge Biden to commute all federal death sentences. innocenceproject.org/petitions/ur...

Trump’s first term ended in a killing spree: “No president had overseen as many federal executions since Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s, and the U.S. government had not executed anyone for more than 15 years until Trump revived the practice.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

In all seriousness, Biden should commute the sentences of everyone on federal death row. He imposed a moratorium on executions, but those people will all be killed within the first year of another Trump presidency.
