Support Mother Jones this Giving Tuesday

Did you know Giving Tuesday got started, back in 2012, explicitly to fight against the commercial corruption of Thanksgiving with its Black Friday and Cyber Monday? That’s awesome! And what better way to mark the day than with a Giving Tuesday donation to Mother Jones that will help fight corruption of all sorts, day in and day out. Our finances are rough right now and we could really use a Giving Tuesday boost. Please help us make the most of this heightened day of giving if you can right now.

Richard Drinkard, convicted of killing three people with a hammer in 1985, was executed May 19th, 1997.

“Killing me is not going to bring back anybody, and I don’t think it’s gonna remove any of the hatred from those people’s hearts…. In turn, my family suffers, and the cycle continues.”

“In here some inmates judge others by the crime. I don’t have no respect for somebody who shoots someone with a gun — doesn’t take any balls.”
