Just a quick disclaimer- this chapter is likely going to be messy. I just really have to get these resources out as soon as humanly possible. Unfortunately, my conversations won't work. I will likely have quite a few posts that are a quick resource dump. An in depth chapter on Mr. Pervis Payne will be published very soon. Please check in when this chapter is published. My conversations board is broken.

Pervis Payne was arrested in 1987 for double murder, even though he was just a witness to the crime scene. All Pervis Payne wanted to do was help, but instead police took him into custody. From there, Pervis Payne was put on death row for thirty years. Due to COVID-19, his execution was stayed, however his date has been set.
We have 15 days until April 9, 2021. The day the government wants to murder Pervis Payne.
The government of Tennessee has clearly done all that it can to kill this innocent man. DNA evidence went "missing" and though evidence that further proved that Mr. Payne didn't commit the crime was presented, his execution date was still set. Since the 80s the court has painted Mr. Payne as a sexual predator, not an innocent bystander.
Furthermore, Pervis Payne has an intellectual disability. This means that it is unconstitutional to kill him. Though Biden promised that there would be no more federal executions, that does not mean we can ignore state executions. They're still happening- and they're still taking lives.
Here's a big doc on how to help Pervis Payne:

Please, I am begging you to share this doc. PM me anything you have for Pervis. This man's life matters. Pervis Payne matters. His life can be saved- we just need a big enough movement.
