Dear friend and elsewhere in the world . Tonight after Rodney Reed ‘s case has been stayed and has been on death row for 21years .Our mission continues . This should have never been Hoplesssness did not manifest . You guys channeled that energy to move the process along for a better outcome of mankind and we thank you . . You ! .Each one of you 5000,000 signatures got this innocent man case stayed . His case got delayed so that he may at least be heard .He deserves to be heard . He needs to be heard .You put your voices toward something as one people .In America unfortunately the prison system is failing our black men.Degrading our black men. Abusing our black men. We cannot sit around on this any longer . This needs to be changed . Our journey as black peoples has already been hard .The task of protecting tour black men moved forward even more .The best is yet to come. . I want to thank everyone for using their voice for something . Every celebrity ,every news outlet ,every signature mattered and we are here now .We are here now to make sure this does not happen again. How many of us have a uncle or brother incarcerated for something they did not do .Being beaten behind pbars by CO’s .Being abused .This needs to change . I have an uncle who served 10 years in prison for a marijuana charge something small as marijuana ! He served time in Upstate Correctional Prison. Meanwhile there are real rapists real murders real killers out there .Not people like Rodney Reed who at a tender age has to serve more than half his life in prison for something he did not do ! They looked at the facts and they still kept him hostage . The fiance told the truth and they still kept a black innocent man captive under the hostilities of the worst conditions . We have to fix this in our nation . The prison epidemic is becoming to big too known it should not be something that is common to us once in a while but everyday ?
