Tell Florida: Stop executing people now
The Issue
Florida has carried out more executions in 2025 than any other state — and more than at any time in its history.
Under Governor Ron DeSantis, nine people have already been executed this year, and more are scheduled in the coming weeks.
This is not justice — it’s a political choice. It’s a break from decades of decline in executions nationwide. And it’s putting Florida back on a list with countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, all known for high rates of state executions.
We are calling on Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Corrections to halt all pending executions immediately!
Commit to a full review of Florida’s use of the death penalty
Reinstate a moratorium on executions while that review is underway.
This isn’t about the severity of the crimes. It’s about the broken system behind them — one shaped by bias, secrecy, and irreversible error.
And it’s about whether we want a future where government violence is used as proof of strength.
Most states have moved away from the death penalty. Florida is sprinting in the other direction — at a cost of millions in taxpayer dollars, and more importantly, human lives.
Governor DeSantis has the sole power to stop these executions. Sign now to demand he use it — before the next person is strapped to a gurney.
