AZ based statewide non profit organization working to educate the public on issues related to the death penalty and the inequities of the criminal justice system.https://bsky.app/profile/azdeathpenalty.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/azdeathpenalty.bsky.social/post/3lksz4zniss2jWe’re grieving—for our friend Aaron Gunches and for the soul of Arizona. Arizona didn’t need to kill him. No one is safer. This was political theater, not justice. This fight is bigger than one execution. We refuse cruelty. The fight to end the death penalty in AZ continues. #az #Justice20 Mar 2025 15:27 +0000at://did:plc:paqobjw4dugiymf2u3rll263/app.bsky.feed.post/3lksz4zniss2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/azdeathpenalty.bsky.social/post/3lfvtmzayac26Rep.
