BY MICHELLE ONELLO | The state of Texas plans to put Melissa Lucio to death by lethal injection on April 27, which would make her the sixth woman executed in the U.S. in the last decade and the first Hispanic woman in Texas history.
But now, new evidence of Melissa Lucio’s interrogation reveals how unlikely it is that she is guilty—which is why a bipartisan group of Texas state lawmakers is asking authorities to reconsider the scheduled execution. They join hundreds of other Texans—including 225 anti-domestic violence groups, 130 faith leaders and 30 Latino organizations—in urging the Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Abbott to grant Lucio a reprieve.

Teen Activists Take on Texas Abortion Bans: ‘They Are the Future of Texas’ [[link removed]]
BY AARYANA SHARMA | Right before the pandemic, Annabel Yu met a single mom living in a Dallas homeless shelter. The woman’s husband recently left her and her three kids. She said that if she had known he was going to walk, she may not have had the third child if that meant she could provide a better life for her first two. “Thinking about her, and thinking about the tons of other women who are in her situation, or were heading towards that situation,” made Yu, 17, establish her commitment to support reproductive rights for all people in Texas.
As the founder of Change 4 Choice, Yu sells T-shirts, bags and pins with her organization’s name to fundraise for Planned Parenthood. The merchandise is a selection of handmade and company-produced goods, some of which Yu gets screen printed. She launched the site in January after learning about current legislation and legal actions taken to suppress abortion rights and healthcare in Texas and other states in the country.
