In “Black Lives Matter and the Call for Death Penalty Abolition,” published in Ethics, Michael Cholbi and Alex Madva defend the central arguments of the Black Lives Matter movement’s abolitionist stance on capital punishment. The Black Lives Matter movement, in recent years, has advocated for numerous reforms to address “the war against Black people.” Based on the argument that capital punishment is a “racist practice” that “devalues Black Lives,” the movement has taken a stand by calling for the death penalty to be abolished.
