Just signed this petition to support clemency for Ernest Suggs, an innocent man on Florida's death row. The victim's own daughter believes he didn't do it.

In 2019, @CAgovernor said: “My ultimate goal is to end the death penalty in California." We urge him to move the state in that direction by commuting death sentences in California. Human rights must always come before politics. #CommuteTheRow
