Tomorrow, we hit the streets, and we need you.

We're marching to the gates of Central Prison to tell the state of North Carolina: NO more death row. NO more death penalty. It's time for it to go.

At the prison, we'll hold vigil for the 43 lives taken in the modern death penalty era and stand in solidarity with the 121 people who are currently living under the shadow of death row, most of whom are inside those prison walls right now.

📸 Photo descriptions:
1️⃣ Death row exonerees Edward Chapman and Henry McCollum, alongside spoken word artist Nick Courmon (who will debut his new poem "Inescapable" tomorrow).
2️⃣ Henry McCollum placing signs along the road with the names and years of life of all 43 people executed in NC’s modern death penalty era.
3️⃣ Members of our Family Survivor Engagement Group, leaders who fought for the commutation of 15 death sentences, bringing their lived experience to the front lines.
4️⃣ Edward Chapman holding a sign for Kenneth Boyd, someone he knew personally, executed by NC in 2005.

Hear from many of these folks and more tomorrow at We Keep Us Alive. RSVP at bit.ly/WeKeepUsAlive or at the link in our bio.
