The execution of Keith Tharpe is scheduled for September 26, 2017 in Georgia. Georgia is preparing to execute an intellectually disabled African-American man, despite evidence that the death verdict in his case may have been tainted by a white juror's profound racial bias. Catholic Mobilizing Network calls on all people of goodwill to oppose this action. We invite you to voice your opposition and demand that the state of Georgia respect the dignity of all life.
