Early next year, Oklahoma plans to execute another wrongfully convicted man in your name. Clarance Goode should not be on death row, and he certainly should not be executed by the state. Yet, he has been confined on Oklahoma’s death row for almost two decades. Now, we need your help to ensure that justice is served and Clarance Goode’s life is saved. Join us for a virtual meeting on Thursday, November 19th from 6-7pm to learn more about Clarance’s case and how you can take action to save his life.

Every Oklahoman must ask themselves not whether they support the death penalty, but rather: Do I trust the government with the power to kill its citizens—especially after catastrophic failures in the recent past? Oklahoma’s criminal legal system has failed to protect the innocent, those with serious mental health conditions, and individuals who have suffered adverse childhoods from execution. We cannot allow this to continue! Capital Punishment is racist, arbitrary, costly, and error-prone. It is time to end the death penalty once and for all. The mission of the Not in My Name Coalition is to raise awareness, educate, and mobilize individuals and groups to take a stand against the use of capital punishment in the state of Oklahoma. Through our efforts, we strive to foster a culture of empathy by validating the humanity of people incarcerated on death row and advocating for their fundamental rights. Together, we declare, Not in My Name: we stand against the ultimate and irreversible act of state-sanctioned violence. Join the fight to end the death penalty in Oklahoma by becoming part of the Not in My Name Coalition. As a member, you will be informed of local events and rallies, gain a space to organize, and join a network of dedicated individuals who are committed to the work alongside you. Sign up now!
