Take Nebraska. Latinos: 10% of the pop, but made up 50% of death row. When lawmakers moved to abolish death penalty, latino orgs were mum.

Organizations like MALDEF and NCLR don't only not advocate against the death penalty—they don't even have a POSITION on the death penalty.

It was the latino evangelicals known as NALEC that took a position against the death penalty... they're beating the big latino orgs on this.

Capital punishment is a latino issue—but it's not treated that way by latino orgs. The same could be said for criminal justice.

This silence from many latinos also hinges on anti-blackness, and some convenient myths. But I don't think it can last too much longer.

Just look at California, which has more than twice as many death row inmates than Texas and Florida combined. These are latino states....
