Today, I went to the clemency hearing for Naeem Trotter of @ThePendleton2. He stood on business. Didn't let the parole board shake him. Its an honor watching someone—who could give in at any point—continue to stand 10 toes down for the struggle. Shining example for our people.

This site is not a fan of political prisoner post but I ask that everyone read through the story and donate to the @ThePendleton2 legal defense fund. Our campaign is gaining even more momentum and could really use your donations to keep it going.
