Friend,

This is urgent: we can save an innocent man from execution if we act now. Marcellus Williams is set to be executed by the state of Missouri TOMORROW on Tuesday September 24th, even though prosecutors are now saying that he was wrongfully convicted and is actually innocent!

Please contact the office of Missouri Governor Mike Parson at 417-373-3400 and tell him to stop the execution of Marcellus Williams before it’s too late.

Here’s a short video from Jill with more information on this case and why we need to act now:

We’ve seen way too many cases like this - which makes it even more outrageous that the Democratic Party has quietly removed opposition to the death penalty from their platform this year.

As reported by The Intercept, one of the featured speakers at the DNC was Yusef Salaam, a member of the “Exonerated Five” who Donald Trump famously called to execute after their wrongful imprisonment for a crime they didn’t commit. “Yet in the hours before Salaam spoke at the convention, many Americans were learning for the first time that the DNC had removed its goal of ending capital punishment from its official platform”.

Some people call the Democratic Party the “lesser evil”, but when a party that’s actively committing genocide drops its opposition to torture and execution at the same time, we have to ask: is the Democratic-Republican duopoly just one big evil?

Thank you for everything you do to save Marcellus Williams and the many other innocent lives in the crosshairs of US empire.

In solidarity and gratitude,
