Jeffery Lee’s execution is on hold after a federal judge ruled Tuesday that Alabama’s nitrogen method, which involves inmates breathing in pure nitrogen gas through a gas mask until they lose consciousness and die, is unconstitutional. al.com/news/2026/06/alabama-…

No jury ever sentenced Jeffery Lee to death, but Alabama plans to execute him anyway. Learn more about Jeffery's case and take action here: lifeforjefferylee.com/

Alabama ended judicial override in 2017, but Jeffery Lee is still on death row because the change wasn’t retroactive. He sits on death row under a system his own state has disavowed. That’s not justice. Take action by signing the petition or contact @GovernorKayIvey's office to ask for #LifeForJefferyLee. lifeforjefferylee.com/action

Alabama is scheduled to execute Jeffery Lee this Thursday, June 11, despite a 12-0 jury verdict for Life Without Parole. Because of a now-abolished Judicial Override rule that Alabama refuses to apply retroactively, a single judge overturned the jury's decision.
We are asking @GovernorKayIvey to grant clemency and honor the jury’s original verdict. Sign the petition now demanding #LifeForJefferyLee. actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Abortion is wrong because it ALWAYS kills an innocent human.
Capital punishment is wrong because it CAN (and as been proven to) kill an innocent human.

Conservatives who value limited government should question whether any system this prone to error can be trusted with the ultimate power to take a human life. nytimes.com/2026/06/01/opini…

"Before the state takes a life, they should be required to answer a simple, foundational question: Did they get the right person? In this case, Tennessee is refusing to find out. Regardless of where you land on the death penalty, that should stop you in your tracks."

"A jury of Alabamians voted for life. The state of Alabama later agreed that juries, not judges, should make that call. Governor Ivey can honor both of those judgments—the jury’s and the Legislature’s—by commuting Jeffery Lee’s sentence to life without the possibility of parole. That is not softness on crime. That is fidelity to the conservative principles of limited government, respect for the jury system, and the rule of law."
Incredible op-ed by Drayton Nabers, Jr., former Republican Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. yellowhammernews.com/drayton…

"Death penalty opposition on the right has grown because more and more conservatives are facing the truth: Texas will never be a pro-life haven, a tough-on-crime state, or a taxpayers’ paradise until we are willing to recognize that the death penalty no longer serves us."-- @nantolson, State Director of @texasccatdp

Tennessee could execute Tony Carruthers for a crime he didn’t commit on May 21 because they refuse to test the evidence.
We can’t let this happen. Add your name to the petition below and tell Tennessee to test the forensic evidence before they execute a potentially innocent man.

National Police Week is a time to honor the brave officers who protect our communities, uphold the rule of law, and make daily sacrifices in service to others. We remember the fallen and stand in support of those who continue to serve. #nationalpoliceweek

We had a great time in Columbus, Ohio this week for our annual convening! Our state leaders have accomplished so much in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and beyond, and we look forward to the work ahead.

Statement from our Executive Director @RevDMinor on the passage of HB 888 in the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee:
“We applaud the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee for passing House Bill 888 – a crucial piece of legislation that would repeal the death penalty in the Keystone State. Capital punishment has proven to be a wasteful and expensive government system that fails victims' families, violates the sanctity of life, and unsuccessfully deters crime. We stand with Rep. Russ Diamond and other Pennsylvania conservatives in the fight to end the death penalty and we remain committed to pursuing effective public safety solutions for the Commonwealth. Conservatives Concerned urges lawmakers to ensure this legislation is brought to the floor of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.”
