Take Action!

Contact the Governor:

Florida is ramping up executions and is on track to execution one person every month. Please contact Florida Gov. Rick Scott and urge him to stop signing Death Warrants and order a unbiased, thorough, and complete investigation of Florida’s costly, wasteful, and mistake-ridden death penalty program.

Our partners at Equal Justice USA have put together this easy tool that will connect you directly with the Governor’s office and help you share your action. ACT NOW.

The best estimate is that trying to enforce the death penalty costs Florida taxpayers at least $51 million per year over and above the cost of sentencing the same people to Life in Prison. The death penalty is much harder on murder victim’s families. There is no proof whatsoever that it deters violent crime. Florida has had far more innocent people exonerated and released from death row than any other state (27 thus far). It’s time to end executions and re-invest these huge sums of taxpayer dollars in well-proven, cost-effective methods to prevent violent crime, protect Florida families, and quickly provide for the needs of victim’s families and all those impacted by violent crime.

Local Actions:

Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Duval Counties are the four Florida counties that been found to have the most extreme use of sentencing and part of only 16 U.S. counties that sentenced 5 or more people to death between 2010-2015. The State Attorney decides whether or not to seek the death penalty. Contact your elected State Attorney when they decide NOT to seek death and thank them. When they do seek death, contact them and ask them to reconsider. It begins here.
