I spoke with U.S. Rep. Cori Bush to discuss the case of Marcellus Williams. Here’s her message to Missouri Gov. Mike Parson if he fails to stop Williams’ execution.

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. innocenceproject.org/petitio…
