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.

Alonzo Sawyer is the 5th person—5th Black man—that we *know* has been wrongfully arrested thanks to a #FaceRecognition mis-identification. The reality is we rarely discover when this tool is used, so the real number is likely much higher. https://t.co/M2pORysM3F

Alonzo Sawyer’s misidentification by algorithm made him a suspect for a crime police now say was committed by someone else—feeding debate over regulation.
