📰 Why The “Mississippi Five” Deserve Parole After 40 Years In Prison by @ChrisWBlackwell and Loretta Pierce 📰 The Mississippi Five are the last remaining women in Mississippi sentenced to life without the possibility of parole after ten years before the state virtually abolished parole in 1995. Although they are parole eligible, the state has continued to denied their release. 🔗 Please consider reading about their stories, support their clemency petitions, and more by visiting the link in bio. #chrisblackwell #freethefive #theappeal #seattle #mississippi

They were the target of two call-in campaigns, a work stoppage during the Block Cop City action, and the decommissioning of some equipment. No one way works, but together we can stop Cop City!
