It's our job to ensure that HB-36 does not move forward. These legislators are trying to bring GAS CHAMBERS to OHIO using YOUR TAX MONEY.. Ohioans must take a stand and unite to ensure HB-36 does not move. We WILL take a stance for justice and not more MURDER.

Ohio's death penalty system is plagued by systemic flaws – racial bias, errors in sentencing, and wasted resources. Furthermore, evidence has consistently shown that capital punishment does not deter crime or make us safer.

When execution is the outcome, the system must be perfect. It’s not. In Ohio, for every 5 executions, 1 person has been exonerated. "I remember going through the trial & thinking, surely the judges will see they’ve got the wrong guy." - Joe D’Ambrosio, Ohio death row exoneree

Capital punishment is, and always has been, a hypocritical act that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. It punishes individuals whose circumstances are deeply rooted in systemic failures rather than personal shortcomings. thelantern.com/2024/10/opini… #nodeathpenaltyoh
