Today's letter is short and sweet – it comes from Mueze. He offers his support to Marissa, honors her fight for freedom, acknowledges the unjustness of her sentence and argues protecting those you love – that includes yourself – should not be greeted with a 20 year sentence.

"Dear Marissa" by Mueze

"I pray that your freedom is granted, and from your ordeal, things get better for other amazing women who are dealing with the same fears and heartbreak."

"This world is unfair, this world is cruel, but this world shouldn't keep us from defending what we love."
