Stop the Execution of Michael Tisius in Missouri
Governor Mike Parson
Michael Tisius is scheduled for execution in Missouri on June 6, 2023 for the 2000 murders of Leon Egley and Jason Acton.
In continuing to schedule executions, Missouri makes itself an outlier in its use of the death penalty. In fact, since the pandemic began, Missouri has been one of only a handful of states that has carried out an execution since 2020.
The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions, and increasingly, states are abolishing the practice altogether, including the southern state of Virginia, which repealed its death penalty law in 2021.
Please sign the petition asking Governor Mike Parson to do everything within his power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.
Petitions will be delivered on your behalf in the days leading up to the execution.
