Note: Brandon Bernard was executed on Thursday, December 10. I was late in uploading this episode, my apologies for that. I still want to include it here as I think it's important. There are still at least 3 more scheduled executions planned by the Trump Administration before Joe Biden takes office.
\nCall (202) 353-1555 and select option "9" to leave a voice message asking the US Justice Department to commute Brandon Bernard's execution.
\nPresident Trump this year reinstated the Federal Death Penalty after a 17 year moratorium. This man is about to be the 9th executed tomorrow for crimes committed when he was 18. He was the getaway driver in a botched robbery where two people were killed. The others who were involved who were under 18 have already been released from prison. It is unprecedented for outgoing Presidents to preside over executions on the way out. This is highly disturbing. Please consider signing. I don't know if it'll make a difference but a life is at stake.
