It looks like the hip-hop community isn’t the only ones standing behind Meek Mill after he was sentenced to years in prison for a probation violation. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf reportedly launched a petition on Wednesday (Nov. 8) seeking to prevent Meek from going to prison, citing the flawed justice system and the rapper’s continued contributions to his hometown’s youth.

“I felt the need to create a petition to reevaluate the charges, his impact in the community and the subsequent sentencing,” Wolf explained of his decision. “More than just a celebrity or rapper, Meek Mill has been a powerful voice in the community for our youth. He has made positive contributions to many communities and programs, dedicating time and money to the cultivation of our youth and neighborhoods; even through his own adversities. He has continued to be dedicated and shown an immaculate work ethic, even at times when the system tried to prevent him from being able to tour, which is how he makes a living.”

Furthermore, the petition dissects the charges that led to his violation, noting that they were previously dropped. “The charges that led to his current violation were subsequently dropped and the stiff sentence was handed down despite recommendations from his probation officer and the district attorney,” he continued.
