We're at 418 signatures — just 82 more gets us to 500. On Wednesday alone, 51 people signed, most of them people who had never heard of Thomas before today.

 

One thing could move this petition in a big way: an endorsement from someone people trust and listen to — a community leader, faith leader, attorney, journalist, creator, or anyone with a large following. If that's you, or you know someone like that, please share Thomas's story with your audience. One post from the right voice can reach more people than all of us combined, and that push is exactly what we need right now.

 

Sharing is still how this grows. If you've already signed, thank you — now send the petition to 3 people, post it in one group, and pass the flyer along anywhere it will be seen. The flyer is attached — save it, share it, print it.

 

Thomas was 16 when he went to prison. He's 35 now. Thomas's DNA was not found on the primary evidence-collection samples.
