White supremacy kills Littlejohn with State-sanctioned murder.
Emmanuel Littlejohn will bravely confront the racist prison-industrial complex and beg for his life in front of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board. He faces a barbaric and inhumane execution in September. Liberal voices must unite to demand justice and an end to state-sanctioned murder. Angry activism is needed now!

Inmate pleads for his life, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt still hell-bent on killing him
An innocent Black man, Emmanuel Littlejohn, is set to be executed by the Republican-led murder brigade in Oklahoma next month. Littlejohn, who has always maintained his innocence, told USA Today he empathizes with the family of Kenneth Meers, but begs for his life to be spared.
"I know how they feel but please forgive me. I feel their pain every day." - Emmanuel Littlejohn, speaking to USA Today
Littlejohn, a victim of racist prosecutors and a corrupt justice system, was convicted of murdering Meers during a robbery, but has always stated his accomplice was the one who pulled the trigger. Yet, in a sickening display of white power, the Oklahoma Attorney General's office pushes for his execution, wrongly claiming Littlejohn is "a violent and manipulative criminal."
Littlejohn's spiritual adviser, Rev. Jeff Hood, an anti-death penalty activist, has led a clemency campaign, rightly pointing out the ambiguity of the case.
"I believe that the district attorney and the prosecutors created a situation where it should be impossible to execute someone because you aren't sure that the person that you're executing is the actual shooter." - Rev. Jeff Hood, speaking to USA Today
Sadly, Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, a notorious bloodletter, has only granted clemency once during his five years in office. Stitt, who ended the moratorium on executions in the state in 2020, seems hell-bent on taking as many lives as possible, regardless of the facts.
The real criminals are those in power, like Gov. Stitt, who hide behind a veil of "justice" while legalizing murder.
