To be notified of upcoming executions, sign up for our mailing list. Send us your name, mailing address with zipcode, phone, and email address if you want to get alerts by email. If you give us your email address, you will get legislative alerts and other information; otherwise you will get postcard execution alerts. These alerts will give relevant details of the execution, the issues to raise, and how to contact the governor to ask for commutation or other relevant action (see below).

You can also join local coalitions in other parts of the state and nationally; see links to other Missouri and national organizations.
