🚨BREAKING NEWS: On April 24, 2026, the Trump administration announced that it has reinstated the firing squad, electrocution, and gas asphyxiation as methods of federal execution. This is all bluster intended to distract from the real agenda, which is to curtail constitutional protections of the appeals process in order to expedite state executions.

After signing this petition you will receive a follow up email with instructions on sending a comment directly to the federal government as part of the rules changing process. The deadline to help stop this disastrous proposal in its tracks is May 15, 2026!

The Trump Administration will stop at nothing to ensure the system can keep killing while gutting safeguards. Recently, the Trump Administration proposed a new rule to make it easier for states to rush through the execution process - denying people constitutionally-protected rights and recklessly risking the execution of innocent people.

13 federal prisoners were executed during the final months of the first Trump Administration, some of whom had legal claims that warranted relief. The administration ignored legal precedent and the BOP's own protocol to ensure that they could kill as many people as possible before a new administration could take office. Three individuals -- two who were intellectually disabled, one who was severely mentally ill, one of whom also never killed anybody, were executed in the final days of the administration.

The Trump administration now wants to pass a rule that would allow the U.S. Attorney General to rubber stamp state-level applications to fast-track executions and minimize the opportunity to raise federal appeals.

We object to proposed rule changes that would allow the U.S. Attorney General to oversee state applications and help expedite executions. Our legal system is far too fallible to have any executions, much less expedited ones.
