A lot of convos about the death penalty in the last week, mostly centered around #KellyGissendaner and #RichardGlossip, who're white.

It was immoral that
#KellyGissendaner was executed—and what#RichardGlossip is going through is nothing less than cruelty. However....1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

Three people were executed in the last week:
#KellyGissendaner,#AlfredoPrieto, and#JuanGarcia. Haven't heard much about the latter two.2 replies 3 retweets 3 likes -

Again, two latino men were executed within days of each other—and we hardly heard about. Not common, tho.

Keep in mind that big latino orgs, like NCLR and MALDEF, don't even have positions on the death penalty.

And there is very little latino grassroots organizing around criminal justice—this includes the death penalty.

This isn't sustainable: respectability politics of latino organizing—which is allergic to addressing criminal justice—will prove a failure.

In the meanwhile, it's simply a shame. No latino org is hard to fight against the death penalty. It's embarrassing, really.

And, unfortunately, the latino fight for common dignity is too often aided by anti-blackness, especially in veiled forms.

And what we wind up with is people—human beings—like #AlfredoPrieto and #JuanGarcia who are executed, largely in silence. Shame.
