#Marcellus Williams

Americas mentality has not changed. The only thing that has changed is they hire others to do their dirty work, so their hands can stay clean.

Remember Khaliifah Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is

Rest in peace Marcellus

As we fight imperialism abroad, remember the people who are suffering under apartheid at home. Help Marcellus Williams by signing the petition to stay his execution! Read to learn more about Mr. Williams situation.

[stardustanddaffodils]

Before Williams was executed, his attorney, Tricia Rojo Bushnell, issued the below statement: “Tonight, Missouri will execute an innocent man, Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams. The victim’s family opposes his execution. Jurors, who originally sentenced him to death, now oppose his execution. The prosecutor’s office that convicted and sentenced him to death has now admitted they were wrong and zealously fought to undo the conviction and save Mr. Williams’ life. More than one million concerned citizens and faith leaders implored Governor Parson to commute Marcellus’s death sentence. Missouri will kill him anyway. “That is not justice. And we must all question any system that would allow this to occur. The execution of an innocent person is the most extreme manifestation of Missouri’s obsession with ‘finality’ over truth, justice, and humanity, at any cost."

Edit: he was a poet.

I don’t even know what words are appropriate in this situation. Something about this situation just doesn’t feel real. We live in an evil world. I sometimes don’t like to believe such things could happen again. But it happens live right in front of us. I’m so sorry for his family and the victim’s family. Neither will get their justice.

Two people were murdered in this case. And neither will get justice because of the unjust and corrupt “justice system”. Racism is so ingrained in our society and yet many will turn a blind eye and deny it still exists. Even in the face of murder.

Governor Mike Parson is a murderer. Shame on him and shame on the Supreme Court for having the chance to save him.

God rest his soul.

Last week, St. Louis County Circuit Judge Bruce Hilton declined to vacate the conviction and death sentence of Marcellus, an innocent man on death row in Missouri. This means Marcelllus’ execution will go forward as planned on Sept. 24.

The state of Missouri has admitted major constitutional errors including removing potential jurors based on race, and mishandling the DNA evidence that could have proved Marcellus' innocence.

There’s still time for the courts or Gov. Parson to stop Missouri from making this irreversible mistake. We must do everything in our power to stop this wrongful execution. And you can help. Here’s how.

Keep calling Gov. Parson at 417-373-3400 and urge him to stop Marcellus’ execution.

Please help us prevent Missouri from making the irreversible mistake of killing an innocent person. Your voice could make a crucial difference in the fight for justice.

The death penalty was made to harm black people. It's the closest thing to lynching. The powerful use it as a way to control the the poor. Abolish the death penalty, it's pass overdue

“Our country’s national crime is lynching. It is not the creature of an hour, the sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury, or the unspeakable brutality of an insane mob. It represents the cool, calculating deliberation of intelligent people”. – Ida B. Wells, “Lynch Law in America” speech, Chicago (1900)

An innocent man is due to be executed today.

Marcellus Williams is due to be executed for a crime, which DNA evidence proves he did not commit. If you haven't already, please sign this petition and text, call, email the governer right now before it's too late.

The same people who co-opt the term, "Rest in Power", for White celebs when they die are the same people who won't use the term for Black people who are murdered by antiblack institutions and systems like Marcellus Williams.
