Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay, and a reminder that the legacy of centuries of oppression and theft from Native people is their vast overrepresentation in state prisons:

And we’ll never forget moments like watching our Oregon Innocence Project client Jesse Johnson walk out of jail a free man after his wrongful conviction and death sentence were overturned.

In the past 15 years, Oregon has come a long way. We’ve had:

▪️A moratorium on executions since 2011.
▪️A law narrowing who can face the death penalty.
▪️The closure of death row and dismantling of the execution chamber.
▪️Governor Brown commuting all remaining death sentences.

🧵 Today is World Day Against the Death Penalty. Here in Oregon, we’re celebrating progress toward abolition even as we mourn the rise in executions elsewhere in the U.S. #WorldDayAgainstTheDeathPenalty
