We urge you to stop Ricardo Gonzalez' execution, scheduled for December 1, 2026, and commute his death sentence to life without parole.

Thomas was sentenced to death for the murder of Officer Steven Bauer

Another death will not undo the harm of Officer Bauer's murder. Please grant him mercy by commuting his sentence to life without the possibility of parole.
