Call the White House at 202-456-7041 with the following message:

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to express some concern that the Trump has announced intent to follow through with the execution of Nidal Hasan in December at Fort Hood. Hasan's stated motivation is to become a martyr. Executing him fulfills that wish, providing him a platform to inspire other religious extremists to replicate his actions. Throwing away the Keyon him provides severe punishment while not giving him a platform to inspire more terrorist attacks.

If the execution proceeds as scheduled, we invite you to join us for the 12/3 virtual vigil beginning at 12pm CT.

If carried out, this would be the first U.S. Military execution since 1961, and it comes at a time when the public is becoming more and more concerned about the use of the death penalty in light of recent failed executions, as well as with a number of other problematic issues regarding mental illness, race, intellectual disability, problematic attorneys and judges, and more.

Please sign the petition asking U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump to call off this execution.

We are writing to you regarding Nidal Hasanm, who is scheduled for execution by the U.S. Military on December 3, 2026, for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting in Texas, in which he killed 13 soldiers and injured 32 others.

We believe in accountability and have sympathy for the victim's family members, friends, and community. Their loss is tragic and unimaginable. But true justice and accountability do not require execution. A sentence of life without the possibility of parole protects society while also providing severe punishment.

Nidal Hasan's stated motivation is to become a martyr. Executing him fulfills that wish, providing him a platform to inspire other religious extremists to replicate his action. Throwing away the key on him will provide severe punishment while not giving him a platform to inspire more terrorist attacks.

If carried out, this would be the first U.S. Military execution since 1961, and it comes at a time when the public is becoming more and more concerned about the use of the death penalty in light of recent failed executions, as well as with a number of other problematic issues regarding mental illness, race, intellectual disability, problematic attorneys and judges, and more.

Please call off this execution immediately.

Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.
