We are writing because another man on Alabama's death row needs the same urgency, the same voices, and the same willingness to act.

HIS NAME IS JEFFERY LEE.

HIS EXECUTION IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 11, 2026.

Jeffery has been at Holman Prison for 26 years. In that time, he became an assistant chaplain, a barber, and one of the most respected peacemakers in one of the country's most dangerous prisons. He is not the same person who walked through those doors as a young man. The people around him every day know that.

 

What makes his case especially urgent is this: a jury of his peers already voted for his life. Seven of the twelve jurors voted for life. One judge overrode them and sentenced him to death anyway through judicial override, a practice Alabama abolished in 2017 because it was unjust. Jeffery has been on death row ever since, sentenced by a rule the state no longer believes in.

NO JURY EVER SENTENCED JEFFERY LEE TO DEATH.

ALABAMA PLANS TO EXECUTE HIM ANYWAY.

Governor Kay Ivey has the power to grant clemency. She is the only person who can stop this.

 

There are three things we are asking you to do right now.

TAKE ACTION

If you have ever believed that people can change, that second chances matter, and that a jury's voice should count, Jeffery Lee is why those beliefs matter. He has 35 days. We are not giving up on him.

THANK YOU FOR BEING SOMEONE WHO SHOWS UP.
