Efren was railroaded by a justice system more concerned about an election and a speedy trial in the media. The young men who pointed their fingers and told stories were all involved in other issues with the law. The guilty parties are out free, the innocent one is still behind bars. Help stop this injustice.

It is inhumane for a civilized country to impose the most uncivilized punishment on children. In a recent Wayne State University School of Social Work study 95% of Michigan residents polled held that this is an unacceptable practice. We must urge lawmakers to impose the will of the people to give children a second chance and abolish life without parole sentences against children. These are death sentences for children.

I strongly support the creation of this school.
