Take Action! Two New Federal Execution Dates

July 31, 2020 by Mark Elliott

The Justice Department announced September execution dates for two more people on Federal Death Row in what would be the sixth and seventh federal executions this summer after a 17-year hiatus.

New Executions scheduled:
William LeCroy – September 22
Christopher Vialva – September 24

Executions already scheduled:
Lezmond Mitchell – August 26
Keith Nelson –  August 28

Executions carried out under the federal death penalty this year:
Daniel Lewis – July 13
Wesley Purkey – July 15
Dustin Honken – July 17

Every execution, whether state or federal, is a blatant political stunt to appear “tough on crime” without doing the hard work to prevent violent crime or help crime victims and their families in real and immediate ways.

Please TAKE ACTION NOW!
Call or write your U.S. Senator and your Member of Congress.
Urge them to end the use of the federal death penalty.

Sign the Action Network petition Tell Congress to Abolish the Death Penalty sponsored by Death Penalty Action.

Local State Attorneys decide who will face Florida’s death penalty. The pipeline to Florida’s Execution Chamber starts here. For the past 18 months, Florida has led the nation in the number of new death sentences. Please visit the FADP State Attorney Action Page and make your voice and your vote count.

Please consider making an investment to continue the actions and progress made possible by your support.

Be safe and healthy, one and all.
