Tips for calling Gov. Abbott in support of Melissa Lucio:

3) Keep calling! You can call every day if you want.
In 2008, Melissa was sentenced to death in Texas for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Mariah who died two days after a tragic fall down a flight of stairs. Melissa was taken into police custody and immediately blamed for her daughter’s death.
During her interrogation, she asserted her innocence more than 100 times, but the police continued to aggressively question her using coercive tactics until she falsely admitted responsibility for some of Mariah’s injuries. The interrogating officers refused to hear the truth: that Melissa did not, and would not, ever hurt her children. Melissa’s words were misconstrued as a confession and used against her at trial.
We’re now only 48 hours away from Melissa’s scheduled execution. We need you to help save the life of an innocent person. Please, contact Gov. Abbott now and urge him to grant Melissa clemency at 956-446-2866 or by using this link: [[link removed]]
