Advocate for Freddie "Khalil" Owens' clemency!

Freddie "Khalil" Owens is scheduled to be executed on September 20, 2024. He was sentenced to death for the 1997 murder of Irene Graves. Khalil, who was 19 years old at the time, was profoundly traumatized by childhood poverty and suffered horrific abuse in both his home and South Carolina’s juvenile prisons, which left him with organic brain injuries. Please take consistent action in the coming weeks for #ClemencyForFreddieKhalilOwens.

Sign the Petition

Are you the leader of a religious or spiritual community in South Carolina? In a state where over 80 percent of people identify with a faith tradition, including Governor McMaster, people of faith can be powerful voices for justice. We encourage you to add your name to this letter asking the governor to stop pursuing the death penalty in South Carolina. Please share the letter with others as well. We hope to have 200 signatures by October 10, 2024 (World Day Against the Death Penalty). We are pleased to collaborate with religious and spiritual leaders of multiple coalitions and traditions for the launch of this letter.

Advocate.
