😔 This is the second failed advocacy attempt by the church to stay the execution of a Seventh-day Adventist (in the last two years). I challenge the @adventistchurch to adopt an official position against the #DeathPenalty . We ought not only speak up when they’re one of us.

UPDATE: U.S. executes Brandon Bernard, who was 18 at the time of his crime, despite last-minute appeals. Bernard is the youngest person to be executed by the federal government — based on his age when the offense occurred — in nearly 7 decades.
