Florida has executed Michael Bell. This is the 26t Florida has executed Michael Bell. This is the 26th execution in the US in 2025, the highest number of executions in any year since 2015. And it’s only July. 

Michael Bell was the 8th person executed in Florida this year, tying the state’s annual murder record within the modern death penalty era. Governor DeSantis has signed yet another death warrant. Florida plans to execute Edward Zakrzewski on July 31. We are in uncharted territory. 

Yet public support for capital punishment is at an all-time low. We are facing a brutal final showdown with the death penalty, and it’s going to take every single one of us to end it. 

Rest in peace, Mike. We mourn your execution, and we remember your life.

This August marks 19 years since North Carolina ca This August marks 19 years since North Carolina carried out its last execution, a reminder of how close we've come to ending the death penalty and how far we still have to go. This moment calls for embodied, experiential engagement with what abolition truly means – join us in Raleigh on Saturday, August 16 from 2–6 PM to remember, resist, and reimagine a future of abolition together.

Since 1984, the state has executed 43 people under its current death penalty statute. Today, 121 people remain on death row, and capital punishment is still legal, upheld by a system that continues to fail the most vulnerable.

We Keep Us Alive is a free, public event to remember the lives taken, be in solidarity with those still facing death sentences, and call on North Carolina to end capital punishment once and for all. Join us for a day of immersive learning, community, and collective action. All are welcome.

📅 Saturday, August 16 
🕑 2–6 PM (But you are welcome to join for any part of the day!)
📍 Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, 1801 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC 27605
