Help #SaveAndreThomas

Dear Supporters,

We need your help. The State of Texas has scheduled the execution of Andre Thomas, a man with schizophrenia living on Texas death row. Andre has such severe mental illness that he has gouged out both of his eyes.
 
Andre “is one of the most mentally ill prisoners in Texas history,” according to his lawyer, Maurie Levin. Andre is housed at a mental-health unit and is prescribed multiple, powerful anti-psychotic drugs that manage only to mitigate his hallucinations.
 
 

Executing Andre, a blind man with schizophrenia, would do nothing to further public safety, and it would violate our most basic commitments to decency, fairness, and justice. Please sign this petition and join the campaign to #SaveAndreThomas. 

Together we can stand against barbarity.

With gratitude,

Burke Butler
Executive Director
Texas Defender Service
