Governor Newsom: Free 82-Year-Old Prisoner Ruchell Magee! Unjustly Incarcerated for 58 Years

Ruchell “Cinque” Magee, the longest-held political prisoner in the United States. Ruchell was unjustly arrested in 1963 on a trumped-up charge involving a marijuana deal gone wrong. Ruchell is now 82 years old and needs to be released immediately - not only because of his proven factual innocence in the 1963 case, but also due to his senior status and the incredible risk he faces in California’s COVID-infested prisons and jails. We are inviting your organization and all forces committed to justice - from media outlets, to community and religious organizations, to prominent individuals - to join in one collective voice demanding his freedom. The time for liberation is now! Free Ruchell Magee! Read the petition text below for more details.
