We also heard from American Conscientious Objector Diana Oestreich\, Iraq war veteran and Peacemaker\, and learned about the history of conscientious objection through both a Christian and Jewish lens from RLC’s Shane Claiborne and FOR’s Ariel Gold. \n\n📺 Watch the Full Event Recording\nMissed the live event?

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of David Roberts in Alabama
DESCRIPTION:David Roberts is scheduled for execution in Alabama on August 21\, 2025 for the 1992 murder of Annetra Jones. \n\nJoin the Virtual Sit In\nCall Gov. Ivey at 334-242-7100 with the following message: \n“Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to encourage Gov. Ivey to stop the 8/21 execution of David Roberts. We are not advocating for the release of Mr. Roberts\, but given the complex mental illness he suffers from\, we believe that he is deserving of mercy not death. Please grant clemency to David Roberts so that he can live the remainder of his natural life in a hospital prison. Additionally\, the practice of judicial override has been outlawed all across the US\, including in Alabama – meaning if Mr. Roberts was tried today\, they would have been unable to impose death.” \n\n\nMr. Roberts has suffered from inherited\, generational mental illness since his teens. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. These conditions along with persistent growing threats against his family from a known criminal created a situation where Mr. Roberts could be – and was – substantially dominated and manipulated into violent acts by another person. Further details are at Clemencyfordavidlee.com.\nMr. Roberts’ jury voted for a sentence of life without the possibility of parole which the judge overrode.\n\nThe execution method to be used\, nitrogen gas asphyxiation is neither quick nor painless\, but agonizing and painful as was demonstrated at the executions last year. It amounts to cruel and unusual punishment which is barred by the U.S. Constitution. \nIf carried out\, it would be the nation’s seventh execution by nitrogen gas\, a method Alabama began using last year as an alternative to lethal injection. \nWhile the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions\, Alabama has continued to go against trend by carrying on with scheduled execution dates.  Additionally\, the State of Alabama has repeatedly shown blatant incompetence in carrying out executions – they need to pause ALL executions to allow for meaningful review of their protocols. \nIn Partnership with Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty. \n\nAdditional Information and Action Opportunities Regarding Alabama Executions\n\nClick here for information about Gas Suffocation Executions\n\nClick here for The Pull Back The Curtains Campaign to Demand Full Transparency in Alabama Executions\n\n  \nSign the Petition
