Call Gov. DeSantis at 850.717.9210 with the following message:
"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to ask Gov. DeSantis to stop the May 15 execution of Glen Rogers. While I recognize the devastation caused by Glen's actions, the horrific abuse, which included sexual violence and trafficking, he endured cannot be understated. These untreated traumas shaped the course of his life long before the crime for which he is now facing execution. Thank you."

Glen Rogers was repeatedly failed by the very systems that were supposed to protect him. From the age of ten, he endured unspeakable abuse, including sexual violence and trafficking, during the most critical years of brain development. These early, untreated traumas shaped the course of his life long before the crime for which he is now sentenced to die.
We believe in accountability, but true accountability does not require execution. A sentence of life without the possibility of parole protects society while also recognizing the human capacity for redemption and the role of childhood trauma in shaping adult behavior.
Florida does not need the death penalty to be safe. Glen Rogers’s execution will not make us safer, it will simply add another act of violence to an already tragic story. Justice does not require death. Florida's continued use of executions marks the state as an outlier in its use of the death penalty. The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions.
Please sign the petition asking Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida State Board of Executive Clemency to do everything within their power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

[Your Name]
We are writing to urge you to halt the scheduled execution of Glen Rogers in Florida - set for May 15, 2025 in revenge for the 1997 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs.
We do not minimize the loss and devastation to the family of Tina Marie Cribbs. We grieve for Ms. Cribbs, however, we cannot separate the tortured and traumatized child from the man who harmed her.
As a child, Mr. Rogers was failed by parental and state authorities who were tasked with providing for his safety and well-being. Instead, and while Mr. Rogers's brain was still developing, he was subjected to a series of mental and emotional traumas, including sexual abuse and trafficking beginning at the tender age of 10-years-old.
We firmly believe that Mr. Rogers should be separated from society and held accountable for his actions, which life without the possibility of parole satisfies.
By commuting Glen Rogers's sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole, you will send a message that the State of Florida does not need the death penalty to be safer, and that it only serves to perpetuate the cycle of violence.
We are further concerned that while the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Florida is going against this trend by resuming and increasing the frequency of executions.
We, the undersigned, ask that you do everything within your power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.
Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.
