Veterans Against the Death Penalty
Are you a veteran who opposes the death penalty? We need your voice. Please fill out this form so we can reach you as a veteran opposed to the death penalty going forward. Then watch for an email with further instructions.
Veterans make up a disproportionate number of those executed in the United States. Florida is preparing to carry out two more executions, both involving military veterans, under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis. If you believe our country owes more to those who served, now is the time to speak out.
Please send us a short vertical video (under 60 seconds) stating why you oppose the death penalty and why veterans should not be executed after serving their country? If you need technical assistance, please email info@deathpenaltyaction.org.
- Use a vertical format
- if you are comfortable with it, wear something or stand in front of something that a fellow veteran would recognize as identifying you as a veteran...
- Start with your name, service, rank at discharge, and your job or unit if you wish...
- Close by repeating your name, rank, service, “...And I’m calling on Gov. DeSantis to stop executing veterans.”
Your voice matters, and your message can help raise awareness. We’ll be sharing these videos on our social media platforms to highlight the growing number of veterans and allies who believe in justice, not execution.
Now is the time to speak out and your story can make a difference. Please send the video by Nov 7th to info@deathpenaltyaction.org.
