Josh is up for parole in June of 2020. In order to strengthen his chances for release, he needs letters that attest to his character and the support he’ll have once he’s home. You can write a letter on your own addressed to the parole board that will be sent to Josh. Josh was one of the frontline soldiers during the Ferguson protests in 2014. In December, he was arrested for setting a fire outside a QuikTrip convenience store during a heated protest. It was put out before causing damage, but police investigated the incident, and two days later, as he was walking to a Christmas party, cops surrounded and arrested him. He spent nearly a year in jail before his trial. The following December, a judge sentenced Williams to eight years for arson. To this day, our Brother Josh is locked up for mobilizing and fighting for our People. He is 23 years old and has been incarcerated since he was 19.
