On this day in 1976, the Supreme Court gave the de On this day in 1976, the Supreme Court gave the death penalty a green light, and the modern machinery of state-sanctioned execution was born.

In Gregg v. Georgia, the Court reversed its earlier decision in Furman v. Georgia and ruled that capital punishment could be constitutional if applied "fairly."

Nearly 50 years later, we know the truth. It's still racist, arbitrary, and unjust.

Swipe through to learn how Gregg v. Georgia reshaped the death penalty and how that legacy still haunts our legal system today.

The death penalty often impacts people who face si The death penalty often impacts people who face significant barriers to being fully seen and heard in the legal system, including people with intellectual disabilities and serious mental health conditions. 

Timothy Richardson is one such person. He lives with an intellectual disability and has spent more than 25 years on North Carolina's death row. 

As we honor Disability Pride Month, we're taking a look at a system that often fails to see disabled people fully. Disability justice is an essential part of the movement to end the death penalty.

Visit the link in our bio to read more about Timothy's story and learn how people with intellectual disabilities and mental illness are unfairly sentenced.

Eddie Hartman was executed by the State of North C Eddie Hartman was executed by the State of North Carolina in 2003.

The prosecutor mocked his childhood abuse because his abuser was a man and Eddie was gay. Identity was used against him in court. And it cost him his life.

This Pride Month, we remember Eddie. We remember that LGBTQ+ people are still criminalized, still dehumanized, still sentenced to death.

As Mark Kleinschmidt, Eddie's lawyer, said again and again: "Nobody should be executed because he is gay."
