Tent Mission STL releases statement on the impending eviction of the Riverfront Community (RFC). TMSTL, @STLwo314, residents of RFC have called for a press conference at City Hall Wed, 3/7 5:30-6:30pm & a protest at RFC during the scheduled eviction this Fri 3/10 8:30am-5:30pm.
URGENT: Leonard "Raheem" Taylor is scheduled to be executed TONIGHT. He has maintained his innocence for 20 years and is asking for a chance to have all the evidence in his case fully reviewed before Missouri makes an irreversible mistake. bit.ly/3JDQJLm
To date, the United States Supreme Court has never held that innocence is a reason to be released from prison or to halt an execution.
👀Following Leonard Taylor in SCOTUS. 3 Questions PRESENTED: 1. Whether a freestanding claim of actual innocence presents a cognizable constitutional claim under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. 1/ supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?Fi…
Call. Email. Tweet. the Governor and ask for the Board of Inquiry for Raheem! @innocence innocenceproject.org/petitions/miss…
Raheem’s brother maintained–including in testimony under penalty of perjury–that his statement claiming Raheem confessed to him was falsely given after he was threatened, beaten and coerced by the police. In 5 days, #MO plans to execute Raheem despite his brother’s recantation.
We are rapidly receiving new expert statements that prove Leonard Taylor was not in Missouri at the time of the crime, & the only evidence they had to arrest him in the first place was a violently coerced statement from his brother that was immediately and repeatedly recanted.
Together w/ @innocence & @PhillipsBlackPr, MIP has asked @GovParsonMO to stay the execution of Leonard Taylor & appoint a Board of Inquiry to investigate Mr. Taylor's innocence. Without a stay, MO is at risk of executing an innocent man. Read our request: themip.org/wp-content/upl…

Data like this shows prosecutors oppose bail and sentencing reform not because they are chiefly concerned with improving public safety. They oppose them because their caging and extracting wealth from people is infinitely harder without harsh sentences and pre trial confinement.
THREAD. Today researchers announced the most comprehensive study ever on a bail reform. They studied over 500,000 misdemeanor cases and found that reducing the use of money bail in Houston led to big decreases in jailing and likely *decreased* future crime.
Cancelation has little economic effect for governments, since these debts are rarely paid, and lifting the debt would get 11 million people able to drive to work, school, medical visits w/o fear and w/o gov using more $$$ on arrests
11 million people in the U.S. have suspended driver’s licenses because they can’t pay court debts. Arresting these debtors is one of the most common police arrests. Governors could cancel this debt with mass clemency.
The U.S. locks up Black people 6 times the rate of South Africa at the height of Apartheid and all people 5 times the global average.
Only the U.S. and the Philippines allow the for-profit money bail system for people not convicted of crimes. Do cops, prosecutors, and judges decide who is free and who is caged based on access to money because it makes us safer?
The U.S. locks up Black people 6 times the rate of South Africa at the height of Apartheid and all people 5 times the global average.
Guests such as Andrea Ritchie, Vince Warren, Nana Gyamfi & Robin D.G. Kelley will guide us through discussions and visionary thinking practices to understand how we can best serve and build the power of movements for Black liberation. Register today at Lawyeringforliberation.org!
Lawyering for Liberation will be a much overdue opportunity to expand and strengthen our networks. The silos we have been working inside of have made us less impactful and effective. Now is the time to build relationships that can sustain us. The time is now. Join us.
Bills likes this from Rep. Doug Clemens are important “Without ever having a search warrant for the private premises of a home, they're getting access to private data of the house by going through a third party corporation and nobody gave permission.” stlrecord.com/stories/619293…
The death penalty is cruel and racist. Today I stood with @RepCori, @MADPMO, faith leaders, and community members to call for clemency and to reverse the decision by the State to end #ErnestJohnson's life. We must abolish the death penalty in Missouri.
