as we gear up to protest the upcoming scheduled executions of #MelissaLucio and #CarlBuntion in Texas, we also raise up #MumiaAbuJamal who was once on death row until the movement stopped his execution by force - learn about his case & celebrate his 68th birthday with us in #HTX
#deathrowfocusmonday is back !
We need your help! 📢 #CarlBuntion is the oldest death row inmate in TX. He suffers from chronic health conditions and requires the use of a wheelchair.
PLEASE CALL 512-463-2000 TO PROTEST.
#Stopexecution #StopCyclesOfViolence
1. URGENT CALL TO ACTION! #CarlBuntion , a frail 78 years old man who needs a wheelchair, is scheduled to be executed by the state of TX in only 8 days!
Pls write an email by April 18 to the BPP asking them to recommend clemency. Talking points+sample letter in the tweet below.
#Texas / #Tennessee
The Texas Board denies clemency to #CarlBuntion , The Governor will therefore not intervene, the Governor of Tennessee also denies clemency to #OscarSmith .... The word and action Clemency are only in the dictionary Gov. Greg Abbott Gov. Bill Lee
This is truly barbaric. Please take action to help stop the execution of #CarlBuntion #NotInMyName #AbolitionNow
The BPP has voted against clemency for #CarlBuntion . Not surprising. However, don't be fooled, executing a 78 years old man who needs a wheelchair and will have to be lifted tomorrow to the gurney, won't make the world safer! #EndTheDeathPenalty
Texas Center for Justice and Equity TCADP
If anyone deserves #Clemency isn’t it an elderly man that will have to be lifted onto the gurney in order to be executed? Gov. Greg Abbott please commute this sentence! Stop the execution of #CarlBuntion
#Texas has 2 executions scheduled in the next weeks time. We are fighting for an innocent mother #MelissaLucio & an elderly man #CarlBuntion . I wish it was obvious to all that neither of these executions should proceed! Neither resemble justice in any form! #EndTheDeathPenalty
CALL TO ACTION: On April 21, two executions are scheduled to take place in TX and TN.

People of faith, please raise your voice against #CarlBuntion 's execution. This 78 years old man is in a very bad health and needs a wheelchair. He has been on TX death row for more than 30 years and is NO THREAT to anybody! Ask for mercy! #StopExecutions TxCatholicBishops
Does executing a frail 78 years old man (who needs a wheelchair) mean to be tough on crime?!
Join us, call/tweet Gov. Greg Abbott to protest. #CarlBuntion scheduled to be executed by the state of TX in only 3 days is NO threat behind bars (he has never been)! #StopExecutions
I don't think the #deathpenalty is ever justified. But right now we are facing particularly absurd injustices. Two frail old men and a wrongly convicted woman are due to be executed in April. Raise your voices! #CarlBuntion #OscarSmith #MelissaLucio
'The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person.' (Pope Francis)
Pls tag/tweet Gov. Greg Abbott and Gov. Bill Lee with this clear message: Don't kill for me! Not in my name! Urge them to #StopExecutions of #CarlBuntion #OscarSmith
