With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution. Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard arrested at University California Irvine.
A woman who said she is a professor in the global studies dept was detained alongside UC Irvine students When asked if she was concerned about possibly jeopardizing her job, she responded, "What job do I have if the students don't have a future?"

Studies show that when black students have at least a black teacher for one year they are less likely to drop out of school. Representation matters. Dr. Diana Greene #TEDxJAX
