Solidarity Greeting from Illinois

To the brothers on Texas’ death row, I say to you, don’t think that your voices or your case has not been felt. You are not alone in your fight and struggle to bring awareness to your cause. You’re not! I haven’t eaten, and I love to eat, but I haven’t eaten for four days and counting to feel and understand and show my solidarity with you brothers. We will continue to fight because we will defeat the Texas Department of Criminal (In)Justice.

In solidarity,

Ronnie Kitchen, #B09130
