SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Andrew Lukehart in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lukehart is scheduled for execution in Florida on June 2\, 2026\, for the 1997 murder of Gabrielle Hanshaw. \nThis petition will be updated when additional details become available. \nVisit our partners at Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. \nCall Gov. DeSantis at 850-717-9337 with the following message: \n“Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to urge Gov. DeSantis to reverse course and halt all plans to execute Andrew Lukehart on June 2\, 2026. As someone who purports to follow Christian teachings\, it is deeply disappointing that he does not extend these teachings to the individual condemned to death in the state of Florida. Please do not move forward with the execution of Andrew Lukehart.“ \nREGISTER FOR THE 6/2 VIRTUAL VIGIL BEGINNING AT 5PM ET. \n\nThis is the ninth death warrant of 2026\, following an unprecedented execution pace in 2025. Florida led the nation in executions in 2025 by setting its own record for executions with Governor DeSantis signing 19 death warrants last year. Let’s make sure Florida does not repeat this record in 2026. \nWhile most states have moved away from the death penalty\, Florida is accelerating executions at an alarming rate. Each warrant signed underscores the state’s embrace of a punishment that is arbitrary\, racially biased\, and out of step with evolving standards of decency. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida State Board of Executive Clemency to do everything within their power to stop this execution\, including issuing a stay\, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Jeffery Lee in Alabama
DESCRIPTION:Jeffery Lee is scheduled for execution in Alabama on June 11\, 2026 for the 1998 murders of Jimmy Ellis and Elaine Thompson. \n\nWhile the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions\, Alabama has continued to go against the trend by carrying on with scheduled execution dates.  Additionally\, the State of Alabama has repeatedly shown blatant incompetence in carrying out executions – they need to pause ALL executions to allow for meaningful review of their protocols. \nThe following case information is from www.mercyforjefferylee.com: \nFor over 20 years\, Jeffery Lee has been on Alabama’s death row\, despite a jury of his peers voting 7-5 for a sentence of Life Without Parole. Under the law at the time\, that 7–5 vote was only a recommendation. The final decision belonged to the trial judge\, who chose to impose death despite the jury’s vote for life – a practice Alabama abolished in 2017. \nJeffery’s story is one of profound transformation; today\, he serves as a prison Chaplain and a leader in the Kairos ministry\, dedicating his life to faith and the service of others. However\, the system that sentenced him ignored the jury’s plea for mercy and never heard the full truth of Jeffery’s Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and severe childhood trauma\, physical and psychological scars that fundamentally impacted his life. \nWe are calling on Governor Kay Ivey to respect the original jury’s verdict and recognize the man Jeffery has become. Please add your voice to our call for clemency and help us ensure that justice is tempered with mercy. \nCall Gov. Ivey at 334-242-7100 with the following message: \n“Hi. My name is [your name]. First\, I would like to commend Gov. Ivey for seeing it fit to commute Sonny Burton’s sentence earlier this year. The upcoming execution of Jeffrey Lee is marred by similar concerns about fairness. Jeffrey’s jury voted in favor of a life sentence at trial. The trial judge overrode their decision and imposed a death penalty despite a majority of the jury voting for life. The inherent unfairness of this practice led Alabama to outlaw it 9 years ago\, as have almost all other states. We politely urge you to conduct a meaningful review of Jeffrey’s case and consider sparing his life as well. Thank you for your time.” \nShould the execution proceed\, we invite you to hold space with us beginning at 5pm CT on June 11. \n\nAdditional Information and Action Opportunities Regarding Alabama Executions\n\nClick here for information about Gas Suffocation Executions\n\nClick here for The Pull Back The Curtains Campaign to Demand Full Transparency in Alabama Executions
