This Sunday, July 18, 2021 marks three years since Ohio’s last execution. IJPC joins others across the state to mark Sunday as a Day of Hope, so that we may never see another execution again. As we reflect on life today, we remember the lives of the victims, those who have been executed, and the families of all who have been left behind.
We invite you to light a candle in your home at any time on July 18, and take a picture of it and either send it to allison@otse.org or post it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the #NoDeathPenaltyOH. You are invited to include a comment about why you have hope for a future in Ohio without the death penalty.
