SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Jeffrey Hutchinson in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Florida has scheduled Jeffrey Hutchinson for execution on May 1\, 2025 for his alleged 1998 murders of Renee Flaherty and her children\, Geoffrey\, Amanda and Logan. Hutchinson has no recollection of the crime resulting from the PTSD and Gulf War Syndrome that came from his time in the service.\n \n\nJoin the Virtual Sit In\nCall Governor DeSantis at 850-717-9243 with the following message: \n‘Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to ask that Gov. DeSantis stops the execution of Jeffrey Hutchinson on May 1\, 2025. I am deeply concerned that yet again\, the State of Florida is gearing up to execute an individual who served our country. We have ample understanding of the damage that war does to an individual\, not to mention\, Gulf War Syndrome. It is our responsibility to take care of the individuals who served our country\, not murder them as a consequence for actions that resulted from their trauma during combat. The State of Florida cannot claim to care about its veterans and execute them at the same time.” \n\nJeffrey Hutchinson is a decorated Gulf War veteran. This video is from his December 2024 clemency hearing. Learn more at Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. \n\n\nFlorida’s continued use of executions marks the state as an outlier in its use of the death penalty. The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions. \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 Glen Rogers in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Florida has scheduled Glen Rogers for execution on May 15\, 2025 for his 1997 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs. \nPlease sign & share this petition and visit our allies at Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty for additional information. \nGlen Rogers was repeatedly failed by the very systems that were supposed to protect him. From the age of ten\, he endured unspeakable abuse\, including sexual violence and trafficking\, during the most critical years of brain development. These early\, untreated traumas shaped the course of his life long before the crime for which he is now sentenced to die. \nWe believe in accountability\, but true accountability does not require execution. A sentence of life without the possibility of parole protects society while also recognizing the human capacity for redemption and the role of childhood trauma in shaping adult behavior. \nFlorida does not need the death penalty to be safe. Glen Rogers’s execution will not make us safer\, it will simply add another act of violence to an already tragic story. Justice does not require death. Florida’s continued use of executions marks the state as an outlier in its use of the death penalty. The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions. \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 Matthew Johnson in Texas
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Johnson was convicted in Texas for the 2012 murder of Nancy Harris. He has been given an execution date for May 20\, 2025. \n\nCall Governor Abbott at 512-463-2000 with the following message: \n“Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to ask that Gov. Abbott follows the teachings of his faith and intervene to stop the execution of Matthew Johnson on May 20\, 2025. Thank you.” \n\n\n\nTexas’ aggressive execution schedule marks it as an outlier in its use of the death penalty while the majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions. In the last few years\, Texas has been one of only a handful of states that have carried out death sentences – and it continues to do so targeting the poor\, the mentally ill and people of color. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Abbott and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to do everything within their power to stop this execution\, including issuing a stay\, and seeking a path to clemency in the case. \nAdditionally\, you may reach out now to the Board at bpp-pio@tdcj.texas.gov and the Governor at https://gov.texas.gov/contact/and (512) 463-1782. You can simply leave a voice message\, or choose to speak to a representative if you prefer. \nPlease note: In Texas\, the Governor does have limited power when it comes to the death penalty. But the story we are told that “it’s out of the governor’s hands\,” is only true if we allow it to be. Yes\, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles must recommend clemency in that state in order for the Governor to grant clemency (mercy) by commuting a death sentence. But the fact is that the governor appoints the members of the Board of Pardons and Paroles. He can choose to appoint members who will take valid claims and concerns more seriously\, instead of acting like rubber-stamping gate-keepers. He can still use his position of power and influence to enact justice in the State of Texas

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Benjamin Ritchie in Indiana
DESCRIPTION:An execution date has been set for Indiana death row prisoner Benjamin Ritchie on May 20\, 2025 for the 2000 murder of William Toney. \nWhile the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions\, Indiana is out of step with national trends.  In late 2024\, Indiana performed its 1st execution in 15 years\, and continues to schedule more execution dates. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Braun to do everything within his power to stop this execution\, including issuing a stay\, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Oscar Smith in Tennessee
DESCRIPTION:Tennessee has set an execution date of May 22\, 2025 for Oscar Smith\, who was convicted for the 1989 shooting and stabbing to death of his estranged wife\, Judy Smith\, and her sons\, Jason and Chad Burnett. \n\nCall Governor Lee at 615-741-2001 with the following message: \n“Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to ask that Gov. Lee follows the teachings of his faith and intervene to stop the execution of Oscar Smith scheduled for May 22\, 2025. Thank you.” \n\nOriginal petition language: \nRead more about the case here\, an article discussing Smith’s motion for a stay of execution to conduct further DNA testing. Oscar Smith has always maintained his innocence. In addition to forensic concerns\, multiple issues of fairness regarding Smith’s jury have been raised. Read a detailed list here. \nGovernor Lee continues to ignore a letter asking him to come pray with the men on death row that was signed by 32 death row inmates in Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Lee to do everything within his power to stop this execution\, including issuing a stay\, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.
