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.

December 9th 2025: True Texas Project leader Tim O'Hare, known for racial gerrymandering, kicks out a pastor for commenting on the no clapping rules, in violation of Texas law. The case was dropped on technicalities. True Texas Project is strongly connected with white supremacists and hate speech.

Previously he told black commissioner Alisa Simmons, "I'm the one talking now so you'll sit there and be quiet!!". He started doing so for Bishop Kirkland but he stopped himself. He's extremely abusive with his black constituents and coworkers.

Ives Sakila - Dublin, Ireland

Ives Sakila was a Congolese person, who had been living here in Ireland for the majority of his life - he was 35, he had been here since he was 11. As much a child of Ireland as of the Congo.

He committed a theft in a department store in Dublin a few days ago. During his attempt to flee, he injured an elderly man and was subsequently caught by the security of the store - *not* an gardaí (on gard-dee) which is the Irish term for the police.

Somewhere between getting stopped and detained by the shop's security, and the actual police arriving and putting handcuffs on him, this man died. There is video footage almost 5 minutes long of the security interaction, nothing with the police. Security kneeling on him, prone on the ground...

It is being said that he was fully responsive until the police arrived, and almost as soon as the handcuffs went on he completely stopped responding, and they acted accordingly and attempted to resuscitate him.

Please let there be an uproar about this death. Its similarities to the one (of many in fairness, but the one in particular) that brought us internationally to a new level of BLM are scary, and this incident isn't being spoken of nearly enough, even here. This occurred on Friday 15/05/26 and when I mentioned it to my partner on 18/05/26, he had no idea what I was talking about. It has been in the news, but in passing, no focus.

Please, let us get absolutely engaged by this. Say his name to anyone you can - don't let this death be silenced.

This was a murder.
