You don't want to miss this event!
Mark your calendars! On Monday, Oct. 10th at 6:00 PM CST, @RenaudAntonio, @maggie_lunas, and Kayla Roane will be having conversation about a world beyond prisons. Can't make it in person? Register for our virtual option through the Zoom link on our flyer!
Call District Attorney Saenz: (956)544-0849 Governor Abbott: (512) 463-2000 Ask them to stop the execution and open her case for a retrial so that all evidence & testimony can be properly be reviewed. Melissa is innocent. She deserves a fair trial. She deserves to come home
You'll be hearing a lot more about Melissa Lucio in the coming days. It's a deeply disturbing and tragic case, one that stunned me when I took a closer look. If you're still unfamiliar with it, here is a piece I published with @chronic_jordan last month. theintercept.com/2022/03/05/mel…
“We don’t want our mother executed. We already lost our sister. And now to lose our mother for an accident is just horrible." The family of Melissa Lucio has been fighting to stop the execution that will take place on April 27. cnn.it/3L0G1wA
Today, the rest of the petition signatures were delivered to the Cameron County DA, the BPP, and the Governor. Please keep signing here: bit.ly/MelissaLucio #FreeMelissaNow

A few months ago, in that blurry haze of new motherhood, I left my infant daughter Eureka on the couch for just a few seconds. She rolled and slipped and tumbled to the floor, hitting her head, then burst out crying. /a thread to #SaveMelissaLucio
@DALuisVSaenz, you have the power to save a mother from death. Please virtually attend the House CJR committee meeting on death penalty issues this week, April 12th. #FreeMelissaLucio
Will @DALuisVSaenz show up virtually to hear about death penalty issues from the House Committee on Criminal Justice Reform on April 12th, or will he have “pressing issues” this week too? #FreeMelissaLucio
A murder charge because of a “self-induced abortion” and 500k bail due to SB8. Lizelle Herrera does not deserve this at all. Now is the time to do what we can to help her, and other RGV based orgs to fight against this. @LaFronteraFund is working hard at this, and
