Marion takes responsibility for making immature choices like selling drugs as a teenager, but he has steadfastly maintained his innocence of murder. His conviction was based on unreliable, incentivized testimony, with no forensic evidence connecting him to the crime scene. Studies show that incentivized testimony, where witnesses are rewarded for providing testimony that supports the prosecutors’ theory of the case, increases the risk of wrongful convictions. Marion’s trial was marred by the deep-seated racism of his own trial attorney, who was more committed to his prejudice than his ethical duty to represent his client effectively. Despite having access to evidence to challenge the State’s case, his trial attorney failed to use it on behalf of Marion. His inaction stemmed from a disbelief in his Black client, rooted in racist stereotypes rather than an objective assessment of the facts.

Anthony Sanchez is set to executed for a crime he likely didn’t commit on September 21st - around four weeks from the time of making this post. If there is doubt about someone’s guilt, all of the evidence should be thoroughly examined and DNA testing should be done to definitively rule someone out or find the one responsible for the crime. Anthony isn’t being given that chance which is objectively unfair given the information that has since come to light.

Sunday, Nov 12: Pan-Canadian Actions

Last weekend saw historic mobilizations for Palestinian Youth Movement's international day of action. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in 30 cities to demand a ceasefire, to stop the siege on Gaza, and an end to Canadian complicity.

Now, we're building on that momentum. Labour for Palestine has endorsed the Sunday November 12th Canadian day of action as the next step in pressuring our government to stop selling arms to Israel and end its support for genocide.

Over 200 organizations, unions, and faith groups have endorsed November 12th and are organizing demonstrations.

Find one near you, or organize your own: Click here for a list of all Canadian demonstrations.

Can you help spread word of the No Kings Act?

Absolutely!

The No Kings Act was proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in response to the right-wing Supreme Court’s ruling to provide Trump with “absolute immunity.”

This ruling would let Trump off the hook for any and all his criminal charges, making him a “king” above the law.

The No Kings Act would invalidate this ruling by saying the president of the United States does not have immunity for criminal actions. This legislation is necessary to preserve democracy by holding its offenders accountable.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “The founders were explicit - no man in America shall be a king.”

In her dissenting opinion on the absolute immunity ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, "In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law." She added that she feared for our democracy.

Furthermore, President Biden has proposed an amendment to the Constitution to declare that “no one is above the law.”

Passing a constitutional amendment is difficult, it must be passed by two-thirds (2/3) of both houses of Congress as well as ratified by three-fourths (3/4) of state legislators, but it can be done with collective organizing and support.

Sign petitions and contact your representatives about the No Kings Act:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network 2024 Convention, activists and organizers from Black Alliance for Peace and PSL disrupted the event. They denounced Jeffries and Sharpton as Black Misleaders, boldly proclaiming that the duo doesn’t represent the majority of Black/African people and instead provides a Blackface cover to U.S. imperialism. Jeffries received over $700,000 in Israel lobby funding in the last election cycle alone. Last year, Jeffries led a bipartisan Congressional delegation to the CARICOM Heads of Government Conference where NO HAITIANS were in the room as the the invasion and occupation of the country was planned. The collective liberation of Africa and Africans is not guaranteed without the liberation of Palestine, Haiti, or even the Borough of Brooklyn that Jeffries was elected to represent instead of approving more money to IOF-trained NYPD!

Alabama could soon begin using its newly constructed gas chamber to carry out what would be the first-ever execution using nitrogen hypoxia. Alabama's new gas chamber has never been tested and a new protocol for carrying out an execution using nitrogen hypoxia was released with extensive redactions.

...

Members of the Jewish community who indicate so when they sign on to this petition are also adding their name to the following stand-alone statement: JEWISH COMMUNITY STATEMENT OPPOSING THE GAS CHAMBER Jewish tradition presents somewhat contradictory statements regarding the death penalty. While the Torah permits the death penalty, the Talmud, in Tractate Sanhedrin, imposes severe limits on capital punishment even where the crime is murder. Contemporary US laws do not meet the standards for fairness and accuracy as articulated in Jewish law. Today we are writing not about the death penalty as a whole, but about proposed forms of execution. Certainly there are members of Jewish communities in states using the gas chamber who support the death penalty in concept or in practice. However, we stand united in opposition to the introduction of the gas chamber as a form of execution. We do not suggest comparisons to the atrocities of Nazi Germany under which millions of our relatives were murdered, many by suffocation in sealed chambers. Still, we cannot imagine it possible that Jewish communities anywhere could stand by while prisoners are executed by the state in our names, using any variation of that mechanism. Therefore, the undersigned Rabbis, Cantors and other leaders the Jewish community call on you to reject the conduct of executions by suffocation in any sort of gas chamber anywhere in the United States.
