SUMMARY:Moral Mondays in DC
DESCRIPTION:Moral Mondays in DC is a recurring\, spirit-led series of nonviolent actions confronting the immoral federal budget. These budgets are not mere numbers; they are moral documents. They reveal what our nation values—and whom it is willing to sacrifice. On May 5th\, we continue taking a stand against an immoral budget that hurts and harms people. \nClergy and people of conscience will gather at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church\, 301 A Street SE\, beginning at 9:00 a.m. for a moral overview and grounding\, and at 10:45 a.m. to prepare and march to the Supreme Court for a public moral witness and moral action at 11:00 a.m. This sacred action is a bold response to an immoral budget and unjust policies that harm the poor\, women\, children\, and workers. Grounded in Micah 6:8 and the prophetic traditions of justice and mercy\, we will stand together to say No to oppression and Yes to love\, justice\, and the sacred dignity of all. Sign up now and declare: “We will not be silent anymore.” \nMonday\, June 2\, 2025 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET \n\nSupreme Court in DC\, 1 1st St NE\, Washington\, DC 20543\nVirtual/Online Locations \n\nMoral Mondays in DC at the Capitol: A National Call for Justice\, Love\, & Truth-Telling\, convened by Bishop William J. Barber\, II\, and faith leaders nationwide. Join us in this movement for justice and share this call to action with your communities. We must stand together.

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of John Hanson in Oklahoma
DESCRIPTION:John Hanson is on death row in Oklahoma for the 1999 murder of Mary Bowles and is scheduled for execution on June 12\, 2025. \n\nJoin the Virtual Sit In\nCall Governor Stitt at 405-521-2342 with the following message: \n‘Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to ask that Gov. Stitt stops the execution of John Hanson on June 12\, 2025. It is inconceivable that the State of Oklahoma would so aggressively charge forward with plans to execute a man who suffers from mental illness\, brain damage and autism– all of which make him significantly less culpable in the crime he partook in. I am also concerned that prosecutors manipulated the facts of the case such that both Mr. Hanson and his co-defendant were made out to be the ringleader of the crime– rather it was Mr. Hanson’s poor judgment brought on from his triad of diagnoses that led to his participation in the crime.” \n\nJohn Hanson suffers from major mental illnesses\, brain damage\, and autism\, conditions that contributed to his participation in the crime that resulted in his death sentence. Mr. Hanson’s co-defendant\, Victor Miller\, was the ringleader of the crime and had a long history of manipulating Mr. Hanson\, whose disorders cause him to have significant difficulties understanding social interactions and to make poor judgments. However\, rather than acknowledging each defendant’s likely role in one coherent\, consistent theory of the crime\, the State argued at both Mr. Hanson’s and Mr. Miller’s trials that each man was the supposed ringleader of the crime. \nAlthough the United States Supreme Court has long emphasized the importance of presenting developmental disorders and other brain-based issues for the jury’s consideration\, Mr. Hanson’s trial and appellate attorneys failed to investigate and present evidence of his disorders\, which would have explained his susceptibility to manipulation and his resulting involvement in the crime. As a result\, Mr. Hanson’s jury never learned of his underlying conditions. \nMr. Miller’s trial\, like Mr. Hanson’s\, resulted in a capital sentence\, but\, due to procedural errors at trial\, Mr. Miller was later resentenced and is now serving life without parole. In contrast\, Mr. Hanson remains under sentence of death\, at risk for execution. While on death row\, Mr. Hanson has become a model prisoner\, being entrusted by staff with a job. We are confident that the Pardon and Parole Board will remedy this injustice by taking his disabilities into consideration and granting clemency for Mr. Hanson. \n\nMr. Hanson’s execution is just one in a series of 25 executions scheduled by Oklahoma in the coming months\, despite serious concerns around the state’s lethal injection protocols and drugs. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Stitt and the Pardon and Parole Board to do everything within their power to ensure Mr. Hanson does not face execution and to seek a path to clemency in the case.

SUMMARY:Fast and Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty
DESCRIPTION:Death Penalty Action and Abolitionist Action Committee are continuing the Starvin’ for Justice: Fast and Vigil for a 32nd consecutive year in 2025. Registration is now open\, so please register now if you are joining so they can keep you updated on the plans.\n\nRegister: https://abolition.org/register/\nDonate: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/fast-and-vigil-sponsorship-2025/\n\nWHAT IS THE FAST AND VIGIL? For four days\, death penalty abolitionists from around the country will gather at the steps of the Supreme Court to call for an end to capital punishment in the United States. It is an energizing grassroots week of training\, advocacy\, action\, community and education. Tens of thousands of tourists and locals\, from all over the U.S. and throughout the world\, pass by our vigil and table\, so the opportunity for dialogue and discussion at a real grass-roots level is invaluable to the movement.\n\nAdditionally\, each evening we hear stories from murder victim family members\, death row exonerees\, death row families and leaders in the national abolition movement.\n\nWe hope you will consider joining the more than 75 anti-death penalty activists who come regularly from across the U.S. and Canada – from Florida to California and everywhere in-between – to join together for public education and outreach at the steps of the Supreme Court.\n\nIf you are unable to attend but would like to support the annual event that reaches tens-of-thousands of people on the streets of DC\, donations are greatly appreciated to make this effort possible. See the sponsorship page for details.\n\nAnd as always\, help spread the word to your networks\, groups\, and local media: http://www.abolition.org
