Sergio Preston Gray was poisoned by lead when he was a young child. He was poisoned in Norfolk, Virginia in 1991. After many years of minimal treatment, he was, at the tender age of 18, sentenced to 40 years in prison.  Lead poisoning has always been linked to juvenile delinquency, criminal delinquency, violent crimes, and impulsive behavior. Lead’s grip on Sergio is no different. The year Sergio was poisoned, there were several other babies in the same apartment building that were also severely poisoned, one to the point of death. 

United Parents Against Lead (UPAL) is actively working with Sergio’s mother, Mrs. Roycinda Alexander, to secure his release.  On Sergio's behalf, the National Clemency Project, Inc., has filed a petition with the Virginia Pardon's Office. The pardon's application number is P515668 and is currently in the "awaiting review" status.  

You may remember the case of Freddie Gray - a young Black man in Baltimore, MD who was lead poisoned as a child, just like Sergio.  Freddie was subsequently killed while in the custody of Baltimore police.  Sergio is presently incarcerated at Keen Mountain Correctional facility in Virginia.  We do not want Sergio to suffer the same fate as Freddie. Tell Governor Northam to FREE SERGIO GRAY WHILE HE IS ALIVE!
