URGENT: Save Brother Sonny Burton during these 10 Nights of Mercy in Ramadan 🌙 Charles "Sonny" Burton is scheduled for execution on March 12th!!! The Facts: 📍 Sonny was NOT the shooter. 📍 The actual shooter was spared and given Life Without Parole. 📍 6 of the 8 living jurors who sentenced him now support clemency. 📍 The victim's daughter is also pleading for Sonny's life. In this month of mercy, we must stand against this grave injustice. We are calling on everyone to act immediately. 👉 TAKE ACTION: Call AL Governor Kay Ivey and demand clemency for Sonny Burton: (334) 242-7100 icnacsj.org/cases/sonny-bu…

In 1992, Charles “Sonny” Burton was sentenced to death for a shooting he did not commit. He's scheduled to be executed on March 12. @GovernorKayIvey must step in and grant clemency. icnacsj.org/cases/sonny-bu… #ClemencyForSonnyBurton #Justice #Alabama #DeathPenalty #Ramadan #Mercy

Advocates held a press conference for Charles "Sonny" Burton, "A Life on the Line: Clemency for Sonny Burton." Advocate Rabia Chaudry hosted the event as support for clemency grows ahead of Burton's planned 3/12 execution for a murder he did not commit. bit.ly/4rjIMxl

In 1992, Charles “Sonny” Burton was sentenced to death for a shooting he did not commit. He did not pull the trigger, did not order anyone to shoot, and did not even witness it happen. The triggerman acted alone. The State later agreed to resentence the shooter to life without parole. Yet Sonny remains on death row. This injustice demands action. @GovernorIvey must step in and grant clemency. Sign the petition: bit.ly/save-sonny

URGENT: 22.3 million families will lose food assistance. The "Big Beautiful Bill" cuts vital lifelines like SNAP, directly impacting families across our nation. icnacsj.org/hunger/ #BeyondTheEmptyPlate #ProtectSNAP

SNAP changes are on the horizon, but with the current trajectory of rising food prices, a major increase in hunger is inevitable without intervention. Join us in raising awareness and advocating for a hunger-free future for all. icnacsj.org/hunger/ #BeyondTheEmptyPlate
