Governor Kehoe, a man who claims faith, has turned his back on life Just days after Pope Leo spoke out against the death penalty, he denied clemency to Lance Shockley — an innocent man whose life on death row has been defined by service and compassion. #IStandWithLance
MADP is busy at work planning events and preparing for the upcoming legislative session. Among the events are several film screenings for "A Window on Death Row", featuring death row exoneree, Joaquin Jose Martinez.
We hope you can join us!

"The Death Penalty Information Center identifies the 1937 hanging of Roscoe 'Red' Jackson in Missouri as the last documented public execution in the U.S."
Next year will mark 90 years since the last public execution in the US... at the hands of Missouri.

To leave us all with a bit of hope, as we remember Lance Shockley today, we invite you to listen to a powerful sermon he gave: "Never Give Up."

"The retreat team 'showed me there’s goodness in the world, and you don’t have to make a bad situation worse — you can rise above this,' he said."

One year ago today, Missouri executed Lance Shockley despite serious doubts about his guilt. In prison, Lance was a leader, peacemaker, a minister. His life reflected the possibility of redemption. Missouri refused to recognize it.
We send our love to all who loved Lance.
The last few weeks have been particularly intense for our movement. This #WorldDayAgainstTheDeathPenalty we wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge recent proposals from the federal government to carry out the first public executions in nearly a century.
The last one was carried out right here in Missouri in 1937.
Will it help our movement? Will it hurt our movement? No one is quite sure, but it's a shocking proposal nonetheless.
Join the fight to end the death penalty in Missouri!

Honoring #BlackHistoryMonth demands that we work, hand-in-hand, to forge a world where black people are recognized in the same ways white people are.
A world that values black life as much as it values white life.
A world where people of color are not disproportionately represented in prisons and on death rows. #abolishthedeathpenalty #BlackHistory

"Your mother deserves to be remembered for who she was, not for how she died. Her memory should not be bound to the machinery of death."
~An open letter to Wayde Hayslip, the son of Charles Thompson's victim, from Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood

Missouri is one of only 2 states where a judge can impose a death sentence even with a hung jury. Rep. Bishop Davidson introduced HB 2747 which aims to end that practice for good.
