Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a death warrant scheduling Bryan Jennings's execution on November 13, 2025 for the 1979 murder of Rebecca Kunash. This is the 16th execution set in Florida this year - and another one of a military veteran.

Join the Virtual Sit InCall Gov. DeSantis at 850-717-9337 with the following message:

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to urge Gov. DeSantis to STOP THE KILLING SPREE! For a Governor who proclaims to be "pro-life" and someone who supports the military, his actions could not be more backwards. Florida has already executed 5 veterans this year - if both November executions go through, that would bring the total to 7 just in Florida. What a betrayal it is for the State of Florida to turn its back on the very people who served our country. TURN BACK FLORIDA! It does NOT have to be this way."

IF THE EXECUTION PROCEEDS, JOIN THE VIRTUAL VIGIL BEGINNING AT 5PM ET ON 11/13.

Bryan Frederick Jennings, a 66-year-old U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, has been safely housed on Florida’s death row for nearly 50 years. Despite Florida law guaranteeing continuous state postconviction counsel for death-sentenced individuals, Mr. Jennings was left without any state-appointed attorney for over three years. His federal legal team has filed an emergency §1983 civil rights action in federal court, arguing that Florida’s failure to ensure representation has violated his constitutional rights to due process, equal protection, and meaningful access to the courts. The lawsuit reveals what we already know: our state’s death penalty system is in collapse. Florida is trying to kill a man it left defenseless.

While most states have moved away from the death penalty, Florida is accelerating executions at an alarming rate. Each warrant signed underscores the state’s embrace of a punishment that is arbitrary, racially biased, and out of step with evolving standards of decency.

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. This execution will not make us safer, it will simply add another act of violence to an already tragic story. Justice does not require death.

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.
