Only about 17% of compassionate release motions are granted.

Judges are misapplying or ignoring compassionate release guidelines, demanding impossible standards, ignoring serious medical conditions, and keeping families apart.

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE FIRST STEP ACT INTENDED.

REFORM THE RULES. REUNITE FAMILIES.

History made!

Qiana's victory is a powerful reminder that courage matters, representation matters, and hope matters. When directly impacted people lead, communities win.

We can't wait to see what she does next.

*New Audio Blog online*
Listen at nationalcouncil.us/blog

Clemency was never meant to be a political favor. It was meant to be a path to justice, mercy, and second chances.

Our newest audio blog explores how clemency can correct excessive punishment, reunite families, and restore hope for people who have exhausted every other legal option and why protecting the integrity of that process matters now more than ever.

Listen now and join the conversation on justice, freedom, and accountability.
