Connecticut like many states disenfranchises most of its prisoners. Thousands of black and brown prisoners are taken from urban areas and confined in prisons in largely white, rural areas, far away. #Gerrymandering

Powerful testimony about #MarcellusWilliams @naacp @monaacp @MADPMO https://t.co/RbLaMOx8P7

[NAACP Justice @NaacpJustice]

With #MarcellusWilliams’ son talking about the continued fight for his father. He sums it up nicely, “There’s something evil about the death penalty. Too many innocent people are convicted.”

[Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty @MADPMO]

Thank you to all of our incredible partners for the push this week and today for #MarcellusWilliams. We are sorry and disappointed to see his name absent here. A missed chance at a braver justice in #Missouri, @EricGreitens. https://t.co/JAkCaZ5ii5

[ABA Death Penalty Representation Project @DeathPenaltyRep]

(1) Today is #Missouri gov's @EricGreitens's last day in office and advocates are waging a last-minute campaign to commute #MarcellusWilliams' #deathpenalty sentence on grounds of #innocence. https://t.co/yTOLBD88y5

[Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty @MADPMO]

Have you called yet? Leave a quick message for @EricGreitens @GovGreitensMO before he leaves office: "Please commute the sentence of #MarcellusWilliams. You have an opportunity to take a moral stance before you leave and stand up for justice in #Missouri." [phone].

[Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty @MADPMO]

From @NAACP to @EricGreitens: "There are many reasons to spare #MarcellusWilliams’s life, but they all come down to one: you have the life of a man in your hands, and in this life or death decision lies the weight of moral responsibility." #deathpenalty #Missouri #FridayFeeling

NAACP calls on Greitens to commute death sentence on last day in office https://t.co/xTgFfbeoNw

[MO NAACP @monaacp]

@EricGreitens The jury who convicted #MarcellusWilliams was all white except for one person. Prosecutors struck 6 of the 7 potential black jurors in Williams’ trial. #Missouri #NAACP

[NAACP @NAACP]

"NAACP has long been opposed to the death penalty in any case because it is a cruel, inhumane, and unnecessary punishment that has been applied in a racially disparate manner." @DerrickNAACP #MarcellusWillams https://t.co/06tIS3XGLh

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

.@GovGreitensMO: Please commute #MarcellusWilliams’s death sentence before leaving office tomorrow. DNA evidence links the crime to someone else. The prosecution’s circumstantial evidence is bogus. All but one black potential juror was removed from the jury pool.

[NAACP Justice @NaacpJustice]

.@GovGreitensMO still has time to ensure justice before leaving office tomorrow night. Halting the execution of #MarcellusWilliams made sense because of racial bias and innocence issues. Now it's time to take him off of death row entirely! #CommuteMarcellus @naacp @monaacp

We cannot allow our schools to regress to the days of zero tolerance discipline. Great opinion piece by Marsha Ellison @FLNAACP and Judith Browne Dianis @adv_project. https://t.co/5cQTlOJGTZ
