With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. https://t.co/2wq41v09Hj

To the best advisor I could have ever hoped for,

Thank you… for seeing me, for lifting as you climb, and for building a table and ensuring that there is a seat for me.

Thank you for showing me what it means to stay true to your heart’s work ♥️
