#ChristaPike execution is moving forward. We pray for her as the hour of death approaches, that she may be received into the arms of Our Lord. We also pray for Colleen Slemmer and for her family, that they may receive healing and comfort.

It is now after hours at the Supreme Court and there is no decision yet on the Tennessee prosecutors' application to vacate the Sixth Circuit order staying today's scheduled execution of Christa Pike. @Tndeathpenalty @uscedp @nationalnow #deathpenalty
The legal and emotional roller coaster continues. #NoMoreDeathRow

Curtis Beasley was sentenced to death by a non-unanimous jury. He was executed in FL last night. As we wait to hear whether Christa Pike’s life will be spared in TN, let’s not forget the state killing spree continues in FL.
Christa Pike suffered horrific sexual abuse as a child. She will be executed in TN tomorrow. Shame.

Gov. DeSantis has signed a death warrant William Lee Thompson, setting his execution for October 13 at 6pm. Bill was sentenced to death for the 1976 murder of Sally Ivester in Dade county.
There are currently two executions scheduled in Florida: Curtis Beasley on September 29, and Bill Thompson on October 13. If carried out, they will be the 16th and 17th executions in the state this year.
We will have more information next week. For now, please take a moment to sign the petition for Mr. Thompson here: bit.ly/SpareThompson
We are delighted to welcome Elliona and Ava to NCCADP as our fall 2026 interns! They'll spend the semester learning about North Carolina's movement to end the death penalty while contributing to our organizing work.
We asked them to introduce themselves in their own words:
NCCADP's executive director spoke with @NCNewsline about why we're pushing to end the death penalty in North Carolina. ncnewsline.com/2026/08/31/nc…
North Carolina has gone 20 years without an execution. Violent crime has fallen, and five people have been exonerated from death row.
More than 100 organizations and leaders across NC agree that executions should never return.
