Charles Flores wants to use Texas’ “junk science” law to appeal his conviction, saying it was improperly based on testimony from a neighbor who was hypnotized by police. texastribune.org/2026/06/10/…

On May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical — a letter addressed to the bishops of the world, concerning matters that affect the Church at large. In choosing the title Magnifica Humanitas, the Holy Father does not just warn against the dangers of unregulated developing technology; he also, ultimately, emphasizes the importance of the human person and the dignity that all of us possess as sons and daughters of God. Pope Leo expounds that while there are certain types of dignity that can be diminished, such as moral or social, “there is also the more profound and important level of ontological dignity. This is the dignity that belongs to every human being simply by virtue of existing, of having been willed, created and loved by God. No sin, failure, humiliation or exclusion can diminish the profound value of a human life that God has willed and called into being.” (Magnifica Humanitas, 52) CMN’s mission towards ending the death penalty, advancing justice, and helping all affected by violent crime begin healing is rooted in this exact belief! All life is sacred, no matter the harm someone has experienced or caused. Thank you, Pope Leo XIV, for your witness.

We're thankful for like-minded conservatives like @LegeLawyer who support our movement every step of the way! #SupporterSpotlight

Our new op-ed in the Austin American-Statesman: Texas’ 600th execution demands a reckoning on death penalty statesman.com/opinion/column…

Our statement on tonight's execution of Edward Busby Jr., marking the 600th execution in Texas' modern death penalty era. bit.ly/4drQh04

of the death penalty, as Mr. Busby waits to learn whether the State of Texas will kill him tonight.

As of 10:05 AM CT today, May 14, 2026, the Supreme Court has not ruled on whether the stay of execution granted temporarily to Edward Busby should be upheld. There also has been no decision on Mr. Busby's clemency application. This inexplicable delay confirms the inherent cruelty

An informative write-up on the state of the Texas death penalty as we approach the 600th execution. The facts don't lie -- it remains arbitrary, biased, expensive, and prone to error. deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/wi…

Around 9:30 PM on Friday night, May 8, 2026, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit temporarily stayed the execution of Edward Busby, pending further order of the court. On Monday, May 11, 2026, the State filed an application to vacate...

Texas is scheduled to execute Edward Busby next Thursday, May 14, 2026, despite unanimous expert findings—and even the State’s own agreement—that he is intellectually disabled and ineligible for execution. Learn more and take action: tcadp.org/wp-content/uploads…

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.

Something I think about re the death penalty is that prison staff who have been involved in executions report PTSD, depression, guilt, and shame. It's proof positive to me that we are not meant to do this to each other. It literally chips away at us to do it.

Yes, due process is lenghty & expensive. But a just government grants it. Since the 1970s, about 1 person on death row has been exonerated for every 8 executed. This shows the need for such due process as we need to be sure we don't execute innocent people. deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-…

Several replied that the death penalty is a deterrent to crime but the evidence says it is no different from life imprisonment. If we want to deter crime, certainty of being caught & punished is a far better deterrent than severity of punishment. US Justice Department: nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/… The percent of murders solved has been down at ~50% in recent years. Bringing that back over 70% like in the 1980s would do more to reduce murder than capital punishment.

The Trump admin is pushing a new rule that would allow the U.S. Attorney General to rubber stamp state applications to fast-track executions and reduce the opportunity for federal appeals. Learn more and submit a public comment by May 15: enddeathpenalty.org/stopopti…

The question is not whether he deserves execution (he does), but whether we should execute him (we shouldn't). In the USA, executing people does not reduce crime, protect people (at least if incarcerated in more protective prisons), or save money compared to long term imprisonment. Executing people hardens us as a society to others. All systems of capital punishment there are systems to protect the executioner from the deed, showing the recognition of how such acts are bad for them as human beings, even when they agree in principle it's moral. In the US, the evidence & ethics are against having any executions.

Texas is set to put Edward Busby, Jr. to death on May 14, 2026, despite unanimous expert findings, and the State’s agreement, that he is intellectually disabled and therefore ineligible for execution. This directly defies SCOTUS precedent. Take action: tcadp.org/stop-executions/#b…
