ACTIVE LEGISLATION

Legislation of concern is active in the the following states. If you live in these states, please follow the link to join the state anti-death penalty organization or campaign. Follow their lead, contact your state legislators, volunteer and/or donate. If you know people who live in these states, invite them to do so as well.

Ohio - Bi-partisan death penalty repeal legislation is moving - Ohioans, write your legislators here.

Pennsylvania - Two identical bills have been introduced in 2026 that would repeal the death penalty in Pennsylvania - HB 99 and HB 888. If you live in PA, your help is needed to urge your legislators to support the bills.
