John, I can hardly
type these words because this story makes my blood boil. This is Joe
Ligon:
He’s 83 years old.
He just got out of prison.
After serving 68 years.
If you did the math, yes, that means he was sent to prison when he was 15
years old.
Dwight Eisenhower was President.
Rosa Parks hadn’t even taken her seat yet and Dr. King hadn’t helped lead
the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Before all of that, Philadelphia sentenced a 15 year-old boy to life in
prison.
He didn’t kill anyone. He was just there when someone else did.
And the papers and police and prosecutors literally called them animals
and wolves. Sent a child to prison and never looked back.
No child in American history ever spent more time in prison than Joe.
It’s an abomination. That’s the word for it.
And it’s why I’m giving my life to elect people like Larry Krasner as DA
of Philadelphia. He did the hard work with attorneys and others to make
sure Joe was set free.
Because every other DA before Larry literally didn’t even care.
Please. I’m begging you.

And I’m going to see how we can help Joe, OK?
We helped buy a house for Michael Thompson. Let’s get Joe what he needs.
Appreciate you,
Shaun
