Sign This Petition to Stay the EXECUTION of Tony Carruthers!

There is a man named Tony Carruthers, who has been served the death penalty in Tennessee for a crime he did not commit. His execution date is on May 21, 2026. We have mere days to take action. Please sign this petition to urge the Governor to halt his execution IMMEDIATELY, and grant Tony Carruthers a stay of execution to allow the state enough time to analyze ALL of the evidence. Tony Carruthers’s execution would violate international law.

All roads lead to the South: solidarity for voting rights!

ALL HANDS ON DECK: A NATIONAL RALLY FOR VOTING RIGHTS

They fought for this. They bled for this. And now, piece by piece, it's being taken away. Let's show up in solidarity with our brethren in Selma!

The right to vote was never freely given — it was demanded, marched for, legislated in blood. Today, that legislation is being gutted in statehouses across this country. Voter rolls are being purged. Polling places are vanishing. ID requirements are being weaponized. And silence is not an option.

This is a call to every organizer, every congregation, every young person who has never seen a march but always knew one might be necessary. This is the moment.

New times demand new tactics — economic pressure, digital organizing, culture, faith, and mass presence on the ground. But what doesn't change is this: when people show up, things shift.

We are not going back. We are going further. The Fight Isn't Over. It's Just Getting Started.
