A Message to President Trump
Elizabeth Holmes dreamed too big and fell too hard. But America has always been the land of second chances.
She has served time. She has two young children. She is not a danger to society.
Grant her a pardon. Let her story become one of redemption, not destruction.
Why We Stand
This is not about defending fraud. This is about believing that punishment should lead to redemption, not merely destruction.
Justice & Mercy
True justice is not merely punishment. It is the restoration of the soul, the chance to rise again from ashes.
Second Chances
In the mythology of America, reinvention is our birthright. The fallen can rise. The broken can heal.
Collective Voice
One voice can be dismissed. A chorus cannot be ignored. Together we appeal for clemency.
Human Compassion
She has two young children. She is more than her worst moment. We are all more than our worst moments.

Elizabeth Holmes is more than a headline. She's a mother of two young children who deserve to have their mom home. Help us tell the complete story.
Two Children Need Their Mother
William was born in 2021, Invicta in 2023. Elizabeth Holmes entered prison when her children were just toddlers. They're growing up visiting their mother in a federal prison camp in Texas.
Studies show that maternal incarceration has devastating effects on child development. For non-violent offenders, keeping families together should be a priority of our justice system.
