DEAD MAN WALKING
No to the death penalty
© 2017 Alessandro Lisci
In the DEAD Man Walking - No to the Death Penalty project, anonymous volunteers lend their faces to raise awareness among the international public opinion against the Death Penalty still in force in 33 states of the USA, its cruelty, the ethical implications, on the persistence against the African American people and the weakest social groups who suffer it, without having the means to defend themselves, and then often prove their innocence only after being punished.
Increasingly, however, the free will of the US police penalizes the African American people who are executed in the public ways for presumption of guilt.
This totally independent project, conceived and promoted by the photojournalist Alessandro Lisci, will be presented with a photographic exhibition and a conference of experts and activists during the first edition of the Human Rights Summer Festival organized by the Network Arene of Rome at the end of June 2017.
Your contribution obtained through this fundraising campaign will be used for the creation of a traveling photographic exhibition and a multimedia platform which aims to host the debate, updates and news from associations and experts, the opinions and the testimonies of individuals against the death penalty in the USA, for which the awareness project was born.

Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer blocks the use of its drugs for lethal injections, joining 20 other American and European companies that have already adopted restrictions.
However, this very important step does not mark the end of the death penalty in the United States. In the country the maximum punishment is foreseen in the code of 33 States + the Armed Forces and the Government of the United States: some of them resort to the electric chair or the gas chamber. Others, such as Georgia, Missouri and Texas, obtained barbiturate compounds from pharmacies with their own artisan laboratories that prepare substances not controlled by the FDA.

In addition, several states have prudently updated, or are in the process of updating, their legislation allowing alternative methods to lethal injection.
This is the case of Tennessee which since 2014 has rediscovered the electric chair, allowing its use if lethal injection is not available. Method already used in second order by Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia.
Even Oklahoma runs for cover, where Governor Mary Fallin on April 17, 2015 signs the law introducing the gas chamber (already used as an alternative method by Arizona, California, Missouri; Wyoming).

Mapping Police Violence is a collective of American researchers that collects and processes data on cases of African Americans killed by the police in the United States. According to this group of researchers, in 2015, black people killed by law enforcement were at least 346. For African Americans, the probability of being killed by the police is three times greater than for whites. In 2015, in 97 percent of the killings, no policeman involved was charged.
