Marcellus Williams' execution would be a travesty and a miscarriage of justice. His questionable conviction--including DNA evidence pointing to his innocence--makes a clear case that Gov. Parson must halt this execution. The state cannot--must not--take an innocent life.

#MarcellusWilliams is scheduled for execution today, for a crime he did not commit. If you believe in true justice, stand with us. We need your support. Take action and urge Governor Michael L. Parson (R-MO) to halt this execution: support.naacp.org/a/halt-the-exe…

Marcellus Williams was killed today by the state of Missouri for a crime he didn’t commit. It’s a shameful day for Missouri, and a shameful day for Governor Mike Parson, who failed in his duty to protect an innocent man from injustice.

Tonight, Missouri executed an innocent man. Our hearts are with Marcellus and his loved ones. innocenceproject.org/innocence-proj…

Kamala Harris and I didn’t grow up in the same place, but we grew up around the same people: People who worked hard for a living, and people who wanted to see their children get ahead. These are the values we’ll bring to the White House.
