Oppose the Expansion of Federal Execution Methods

I'm asking you to oppose the Department of Justice's decision to expand federal execution methods to include firing squads, electrocution, and gas asphyxiation. This policy is morally indefensible and represents a dangerous escalation of state violence. The justification for this expansion is telling: the federal government can't obtain lethal injection drugs, so instead of reconsidering capital punishment itself, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is resurrecting methods that belong in history books. Firing squads and electrocution are brutal relics. Gas asphyxiation, pioneered by Alabama just last year, is an experiment in killing people. The previous administration recognized the problems with federal executions and imposed a moratorium. President Biden commuted 37 death sentences before leaving office because he understood that the death penalty is irreversible, racially biased, and fails to make us safer. Now we're moving backward, with Blanche authorizing death sentences for nine more people and streamlining processes to speed up executions. This isn't justice for victims. It's the government finding new ways to kill people when the old ways became too difficult. Stand against this expansion and work to end federal executions entirely.
