A June 2017 court ruling allowed executions to resume, and at a rapid pace. Ohio has 27 executions scheduled with the first one occurring July 26. People of faith have always been a cornerstone of Ohioans to Stop Executions, and now more than ever, we need the voice of Ohio’s faith leaders. Bishops, rabbis, pastors, deacons, women religious, educators, lay leaders, and others are coming together to stand on the side of life, mercy and redemption and grace.
