On appeal, the State agreed to reduce the trigger man's sentence to life without parole, however, the State inexplicably upheld Sonny’s death sentence.
Let that sink in, the man who fired the gun lived out his life in prison; Sonny is scheduled to die Thursday.
Today, we are fighting in Alabama for the life of Charles "Sonny" Burton who has spent more than 30 years on Alabama’s death row for a killing the State agrees he neither committed nor ordered. He wasn’t even in the building when the shooting occurred.
Almost 4 years ago, people from all over the world came together & helped save Julius Darius Jones’ life. A coalition of hearts, voices, organizers, families, pastors, artists, students, and complete strangers locked arms with us & refused to let Julius stand alone! Thank You!
Join us in Prayer! 💙

Julius Jones Week // November 13th – 18th.
As we prepare for this week of advocacy, reflection, and community, we are also standing with Tremane Wood and his family. We remember this feeling & we stand with them. No Governor should keep a family in emotional torment! 🙏🏽💙

Today is Julius Darius Jones’ 45th Birthday.
And he’s spending it once again behind bars, not with his family, not with his friends, not with the people who love him.
To everyone who continues to stand beside Julius, thank you.

Our justice system holds a lot of power, but it doesn’t always get it right. Julius’s case is proof of that!
We have to reignite the movement and ask the question: What About Julius?
It might not be the same fight, but make no mistake…We’re still fighting for his FREEDOM!
“The system has recognized its flaws and its mistake, my only question is What about Julius?” @irv_roland speaks the truth—justice should be for ALL!
Thank you Irv for your continued support! ✊🏽

Commutation is not freedom. Julius still sits behind bars, waiting, hoping, believing.
And so, the movement continues.
Justice means freedom. Justice means clearing his name. Justice means reuniting Julius with his family after 25 long years.

2021 the conservative SCOTUS declined to hear Julius’ case and his request for a retrial. In 2025 with strong state republican support not only did the conservative SCOTUS overturn Richard Glossip’s death sentence for prosecutorial misconduct but ordered that he have a new trial.
