Clemency for Quin

We are a grassroots effort to get clemency for Quinton Phillipe Jones, who is scheduled to be executed by the State of Texas on May 19, 2021.

"Quin hasn't forgotten his crime, and he's not asking us to forgive or forget. But he doesn't deserve to die."
-- @suleikajaouad.

Quintin Jones is scheduled to be executed 5/19/2021. We believe it would be an injustice. Join us by signing the petition. https://t.co/fzGXf5zcvS

Though we did not save the life of Quintin Jones, we did manage to tell his story and spread the word of his redemption. Thank you to everyone who fought for Quin, prayed for Quin, and was touched by Quin's story. He died knowing that he was seen ... https://t.co/lFFl6xtSh2

Quin Jones should not have been executed. It was an unnecessary and unwanted execution, a failure of moral leadership. What’s even more disturbing is the fact that the execution took place without any independent media witnesses present due to an “error” by TDCJ.

Today, we urge @GovAbbott to grant a reprieve to Mr. Quintin Jones in Texas.

The EU strongly opposes the #DeathPenalty as a cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. Working globally to #AbolishDeathPenalty is at the heart of #EU4HumanRights priorities. https://t.co/9Z44hVBjjZ

We are utterly heartbroken by the decision of the Texas Board of Pardons and Appeals to deny clemency to Quintin Jones. We believe this is a grave injustice and support the complaint filed in federal court. Our hearts and prayers are with Quin.

Please ask Governor Abbott https://t.co/5aPZk5PfvA to show Quin mercy, listen to Quin's words and the requests of the victims family. Remind him that Quin is an example of redemption & reconciliation. Please keep comments respectful & focused on Quin's case. #SaveQuintinJones

Simply an extraordinary story on @CBSThisMorning. @suleikajaouad @PatinkinMandy @JonBatiste @StephenAtHome @RexChapman @sethmeyers

Texas death row inmate Quintin Jones, set to be executed next week, is pleading with Gov. Greg Abbott to spare his life. He was convicted of killing his great-aunt in 1999 at age 20.

@OmarVillafranca spoke to one of Jones' family members who hopes his execution will be stopped.

The petition to @GovAbbott and the Texas Board of Paroles and Pardons has now passed an astonishing one million views. Executing Quintin Jones would be an injustice. https://t.co/fzGXf5zcvS

[Holland Taylor @HollandTaylor]

This case seems to me to be why there IS the possibility of simple clemency ~ will the Board of Pardons and Paroles and Gov. Abbott take this action?

The touching story of Sonja Keichle’s letter-writing friendship with Quintin Jones appeared in Germany’s Allgäuer Zeitung newspaper. Read the translated article at https://t.co/IRk3hdbx3s.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

We only have 8 days to save Quintin Jones' life.

No one deserves the death penalty — and even the family of the victim is asking Governor Abbott to grant Quintin clemency.

This is not justice. We need all hands on deck. Call on @GregAbbott_TX to #SaveQuintinJones.

[Clemency for Quin @ClemencyQuin]

Quintin Jones is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas in one week. No matter where you stand on the death penalty, he deserves to live. Please take just a moment and learn his story. https://t.co/IwljNmuc0Z

As our petition to save the life of Quintin Jones closes in on an astounding 100,000 signatures, we think again of Quin's words: "All I'm asking you to do ... is to give me a second chance at life." @suleikajaouad @JonBatiste @PatinkinMandy https://t.co/fzGXf5zcvS

"All I'm asking you to do ... is to give me a second chance at life." -- Quintin Jones.
