Lollipops2000 - Word Vomit

Hello I am begging you guys please boost this if you can, this keeps happening an I am so tired of it

TW- death row

Somewhere close to where I live there is this man named Pervis Payne and he is suppose to be executed in 29 days please boost this. In Tennessee specifically shelby Tennessee he is suppose to be executed. During his trial and during his time of being on death row he has faced racism, and been told things like "you think your black now just wait until we fry you."

He has so much proof of being innocent but won't be let off death row. Police has said that he was in a drug fueled frenzy with no evidence and REFUSE to do DNA testing or drug testing. He done nothing wrong but is being called a animal.

He has a proven intellectual disability where he shouldn't be on death row at all. I don't care at all what your account is about just please spread awareness knowing that stuff like this is happening where I live to innocent black people just like me is disgusting.

If you can please @ your mutuals. This man deserve freedom.

Here are things you can do

Petition to allow to do DNA testing

Call (615)-741-2001 and press 1 to leave a voice mail granting a stay of pervis payne execution (if it doesn't go to voice-mail there should be someone who answers and you can do the same thing)

I sadly can't find anymore at the moment but if you do please share also some petitions are fake so please be careful.

Also realize that he is probably going to be executed in 28 days now since his execution is on April 9

“’Anti-racism’ is a noun but urgency requires us to treat it as a verb, I say. It means taking your awareness and turning it into action. Into doing something concrete. And then to keep doing it.”

We Need Diverse Books social media manager JoAnn Yao wrote about the Atlanta shooting, growing up Asian in Georgia, & how both solidarity and joy can be found while drawing a cartography of self. See below for our resources on how to take action, stand against anti-Asian racism, and #StopAsianHate.

DAUNTE WRIGHT

20 year old Daunte Wright was murdered by police in Brooklyn Center, a Minneapolis suburb today, April 11th, 2021 during a traffic stop.

As of 7pm, his body is still laying on the ground. Riot cops are on the scene with "less lethals" AND live weapons in response to a large crowd that has formed to hold space for grief and anger. Daunte's mother is there and speaking, and she shared the above photo of Daunte.

The Derek Chauvin trial is currently ongoing and these police are out here still actively murdering our neighbors. ACAB forever.

Say his name and demand Justice for Daunte Wright
