Colorado’s reentry and advocacy system is like an apple hanging on the branch, ripe with potential but requiring careful handling to avoid spoiling. Just as a ripe apple needs to be picked and nurtured to fulfill its purpose, the reentry system needs deliberate action, thoughtful policy, and supportive resources to ensure those leaving incarceration can thrive in their second chance at life. Without proper care, the opportunity could fall to waste, leaving lives in jeopardy and communities underserved.
People often ask me, “Who’s an advocate? Who’s an activist? What’s reentry? Where can we find these people?” These are excellent questions. In recent years, nonprofit organizations have seemingly sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, especially those claiming to support reentry services, sober living homes, and advocacy efforts. While some genuinely work to help vulnerable populations, many others operate with questionable motives, exploiting the very people they claim to serve.
The Rise of Nonprofit Organizations: Genuine Help or Exploitation?
Over the past few years, the nonprofit sector has exploded. Sober living homes are now everywhere, offering individuals a chance to start over. At least, that’s what they claim. In reality, many of these organizations are cashing in on human tragedy. They rely heavily on grants and funding meant to uplift communities, but where does that money go? Who ensures it’s spent ethically?
The sad truth is, many nonprofits profit from the vulnerabilities of those they serve. These organizations cater to individuals emerging from prison or those struggling with addiction, knowing they are desperate for help. Instead of providing affordable, supportive services, some charge outrageous fees for basic needs like transitional housing—fees that the average person with a criminal record or limited income could never afford.
What’s worse is that some of these housing providers are former inmates themselves, who, despite understanding the challenges of reentry, exploit others for financial gain. When does it end? When does morality outweigh profit?
The Reality of Advocacy and Activism
Now, let’s talk about advocates and activists. True advocates are those who work tirelessly to influence change. They meet with legislators, write bills, find sponsors, and lobby to change laws for the better. They fight for fairness and justice, especially for those behind bars.
But here’s the problem: far too often, the voices we hear are ineffective. Picture this: you’re sitting in a legislative hearing, and the average age of the advocates present is 80. Their testimonies are heartfelt but repetitive, relying almost entirely on emotion rather than facts. While their life stories may be moving, they lack the power to inspire real change. We need informed, strategic advocacy—not just emotional appeals—to pass bills and implement meaningful reform.
And then there’s the other side of the advocacy coin: organizations that control the narrative. They tell you what you can and cannot say. They manage their Facebook pages and websites like dictatorships, censoring any dissenting opinions. They claim to champion free speech and justice, but they silence anyone who dares to question them.
Challenging the Status Quo
This article is dedicated to those who have doubted me, dismissed my qualifications, or attempted to silence me. You question my credentials? You won’t find my name in some outdated Colorado database, but you will see the impact of my work. When you attack me, you attack every man and woman I fight for behind bars.
I don’t follow the pack, and I don’t need to. I’ve carved my own path and fought my own battles. I stand against those who exploit the vulnerable under the guise of advocacy. To those who blame the Department of Corrections, community corrections, or parole boards: take a hard look at yourselves. You are often worse than the systems you criticize.
Many people claim to be activists or advocates, but what they are doing is far from true activism or advocacy. Ironically, some of these individuals, who were once incarcerated and subject to constant control, now run Facebook pages where they dictate what can and cannot be posted. They act as gatekeepers of content, managing their pages with an authoritarian grip.
Let’s take a closer look at one particular Facebook page I was once part of. My straightforwardness, my willingness to challenge the status quo, and my deep understanding of law and criminal justice reform didn’t align with their curated narrative. Unlike others, I don’t sugarcoat reality or offer false hope about potential outcomes. My refusal to play into their performative activism ultimately made me an outsider.
This page, originally private but now public, is called Colorado Justice Reform—a name that some of you may recognize. It was initially created by Jeff Johnson, a juvenile lifer who was released in 2019 following the Miller v. Alabama ruling. Then there’s Beth Stone, a woman married to a man serving 160 years in state prison for violent crimes. In my opinion, he remains in denial about his actions. And let’s not forget Kathy Izor, an 80- or 90-year-old woman whose bitterness and anger often overshadow any meaningful contributions.
While their stories may appeal to some, the lack of transparency and the controlling behavior on these platforms raise serious questions. Is this truly about justice reform, or is it about maintaining an illusion of activism while suppressing real dialogue and progress?
True advocacy doesn’t come with censorship or self-serving agendas—it comes with honesty, integrity, and the courage to confront uncomfortable truths.
It’s crucial to recognize the influence of platforms like the one in question, which boasts nearly 3,000 followers—a significant audience. Imagine a situation where someone posts information that hasn’t been fact-checked or verified. That information then spreads to thousands, creating confusion and chaos akin to rumors in prison, where misinformation quickly spirals out of control. I’ve experienced this firsthand, often receiving private messages asking, “Is this true?” My response is always the same: “Fact-check it yourself. If the group you’re following doesn’t provide reliable information, why remain part of it? Why support a group that isn’t offering the clarity or solutions you’re looking for and refuses to listen to its members?”
Understanding who runs these groups is equally important. The creators have a shared connection to incarceration—one was previously incarcerated, another has a husband serving time, and a third has a personal tie to someone currently imprisoned. While they claim to advocate for change, their behavior on the page often mirrors the very control and suppression they experienced within the system. Members are not allowed to freely express concerns or bring real issues to the table; instead, the page becomes a platform for posting selective ideas that align with the admins’ agenda.
The Reality of Clemency: A Bitter Truth for Beth Stone and Ryan Stone
On a Friday afternoon, Ryan Stone, a Colorado man convicted of carjacking three vehicles, including one with a 4-year-old child inside, was sentenced to 160 years in prison for a crime spree that garnered international attention. His actions, which took place in March 2014, were broadcast live on television, showing a high-speed chase across five counties, spanning 75 miles, and leaving destruction in its wake. For the victims, for the community, and for his family, this crime spree had devastating consequences.
Ryan Stone, 30, was found guilty of 11 felonies, including attempted manslaughter and first-degree assault, after he caused serious injuries to a police officer during the pursuit. The chase, which started in Longmont, Colorado, as Stone, wanted for failing to appear in court on drug charges, stole a vehicle, rapidly escalated. Stone led authorities on a dangerous high-speed chase, reaching speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour while a 4-year-old child was still in the stolen vehicle. The pursuit continued, with Stone abandoning the child after crashing the SUV into another vehicle, carjacking yet another woman, and ultimately leading police on a reckless chase that caused severe injuries to a state trooper.
In the aftermath of his arrest, Stone exhibited a lack of remorse for the damage he caused. In phone calls from jail, he dismissed the officer’s injuries, even making light of the global attention his case received. “My lawyer told me I made the news in the UK and Australia,” Stone laughed, as if the lives he endangered and the consequences of his reckless behavior were nothing more than a punchline.
Ryan Stone’s sentencing, though lengthy, left many questioning the appropriateness of his punishment. Is 160 years justifiable for someone who, while reckless, did not directly intend to kill anyone? The debate about whether his sentence fits the crime continues, but what cannot be ignored is the gravity of his actions, which forever altered the lives of his victims, particularly the child and the officer. Whether the sentence is deemed appropriate or not, his crime spree underscores the need for consequences that reflect the damage caused.
For Beth Stone, Ryan’s wife, the reality of his sentence is even harder to face. She has become a bitter advocate for her husband, seeking clemency despite his severe offenses. In a conversation about her husband’s prospects for early release, I had to share a hard truth—Ryan Stone is not eligible for clemency because of the severity of his crimes and the limited time he has served. His actions nearly killed a child and a state trooper while he was under the influence of drugs, despite coming from a background with resources like rehab that could have helped him make better choices.
When I shared this, Beth became upset. She accused me of lacking compassion, of crushing her hope. But I wasn’t there to provide comforting lies. My role is to offer the hard truths that are essential when dealing with the criminal justice system. Yes, it’s true that anyone can file for clemency, but the truth is that in Ryan’s case, it’s highly unlikely he will receive it. The reality is that he is a high-risk offender who made deliberate, dangerous choices that put others in harm’s way. His life choices have consequences, no matter how difficult that may be to accept.
Beth’s reaction is understandable in many ways—no one wants to see their loved one face such severe consequences. But the truth remains: the criminal justice system is designed to balance justice and rehabilitation. While I empathize with the difficulty of facing this reality, the impact of Ryan’s crime spree cannot be minimized. The choices he made, while influenced by personal struggles, were still choices that caused immense harm. In the end, it is not about offering false hope; it’s about understanding that consequences for such crimes are not only necessary but unavoidable.
In the ongoing debate about criminal justice reform, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of leniency and second chances. But it is equally important to remember that for some individuals, like Ryan Stone, the severity of their actions means that their path to redemption is not guaranteed or immediate. The truth is often hard to hear, but it is necessary in order to foster an honest conversation about justice and the consequences of our actions.
Advocacy is about honesty, not about feeding illusions. Without truth, there can be no meaningful reform or progress.
The Controversy Surrounding Garry Izor’s Clemency and Kathy Izor’s Advocacy
Governor Bill Ritter’s recent decision to grant pardons and early releases to 29 individuals, including Garry Izor, has stirred up both gratitude and outrage. One of the most contentious cases involves Garry Izor, who was convicted of the 1977 murder of Gene Willis during a liquor store robbery in Franktown. Izor’s sentence was commuted, allowing him to leave prison five years earlier than originally planned, a decision that has deeply upset the family of the victim, Gene Willis.
For Jay and Lee Willis, December 7, 1977, is a day etched in painful memory—the day their father was fatally stabbed by Izor. The loss of their father has never been easy, and the decision to grant Izor an early release has reopened old wounds. “I remember that day very vividly,” said Jay Willis. “The hardest part was having to tell my mom.”
Izor served 20 years of his original sentence before being released to a community placement, having exhibited good behavior. However, after a suicide attempt, Izor failed to return to his placement, which was deemed an escape, leading to an additional 24 years in prison. Kathy Izor, Garry’s wife, has expressed gratitude for the governor’s decision to commute his sentence, arguing that the extra 24 years for his failure to return after being hospitalized for 36 hours was excessively harsh. “People don’t normally get 24 years for being out of area for 36 hours after being clean in the community for six and a half years,” Kathy said. She believes that her husband has served enough time and is no longer a threat, a view not shared by the Willis family, who fear the potential for Izor to re-offend. “My belief is it’s not a matter of if this guy’s going to commit another crime, it’s just a matter of when,” said Jay Willis, echoing the concerns of those who feel justice was not served.
Despite the objections from the Willis family, Kathy remains hopeful and focused on the opportunity for her family’s future. “I feel bad for the Willis family, but the governor has given my husband, me, and our four children a second chance,” she said. While she expresses empathy for the Willis family’s pain, her perspective highlights the complexities of criminal justice reform, where personal emotions often collide with the larger questions of public safety and rehabilitation.
For the Willis brothers, the governor’s decision has only deepened their grief. Lee Willis made his frustration clear: “Governor, you have single-handedly made me ashamed to live in Colorado.” This reflects the broader public outcry that often accompanies decisions perceived as lenient, particularly when the victims’ families feel they have been disregarded.
Kathy Izor’s advocacy for her husband’s release has led to further scrutiny, not only because of the high-profile nature of Garry Izor’s crime but also due to Kathy’s personal approach to criminal justice reform. She has been an active participant in criminal justice reform efforts, and while she once held some degree of respect in the community, her motivations seem deeply entwined with her personal agenda—namely, securing her husband’s release. Critics argue that her focus on her husband’s case raises ethical concerns, particularly when considering the nature of his crime and his noncompliance with release conditions.
The decision to grant Garry Izor clemency, despite strong opposition from the victims’ family, calls into question the transparency and fairness of the clemency process. When individuals like Kathy advocate passionately for their loved ones, one must consider how much influence personal connections may have in these decisions. Is the clemency system being used to serve the public good, or does it give undue weight to personal relationships and influence? The case raises important ethical questions about how such decisions are made, and whether they truly reflect the values of justice and fairness.
Kathy Izor’s role in the Colorado Justice Reform group has also come under scrutiny. While advocacy for criminal justice reform is vital, Kathy’s approach to these issues has been called outdated and disconnected from current realities. Her recent behavior at a Department of Corrections meeting, where she resorted to name-calling and unprofessional conduct, painted a picture of someone struggling to adapt to the evolving landscape of reform. Although Kathy later apologized for her actions, her initial outburst and the insincerity of her apology raised doubts about her true attitude. “A tiger doesn’t change its stripes,” as the saying goes—her apology felt more like damage control than a genuine expression of regret.
In the world of criminal justice reform, it is crucial to balance compassion with accountability. Advocates like Kathy Izor must navigate the complexities of the system, but personal biases and agendas can cloud the objectivity needed in these decisions. Her behavior and focus on her husband’s case seem to undermine the progress that reform advocates work toward—a fairer, more transparent system that considers the rights of victims and the broader public interest.
Ultimately, the case of Garry Izor and the involvement of Kathy Izor in his clemency offer a challenging reflection of the tensions within the criminal justice system. As the debate continues about the fairness of clemency decisions and the influence of personal connections, it is important to remember that reform must prioritize justice for all parties involved—not just for the convicted, but for the victims and society at large.
The Untold Story of Jeff Johnson: A Second Chance or a Missed Opportunity?
On November 2, 2018, Jeff Johnson walked out of prison after serving nearly 25 years behind bars. Convicted of felony murder at just 17 years old, Johnson was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 1995. At the time, he couldn’t fully grasp the weight of his conviction, but at 42, he’s now navigating a world that has dramatically changed since his incarceration.
Johnson’s release is part of a broader shift in the criminal justice system, where evolving research on juvenile brain development is influencing how the courts view young offenders. A landmark Supreme Court ruling declared that life without parole sentences for juveniles constitute cruel and unusual punishment. As a result, young people like Johnson, once written off as irredeemable, are being given the opportunity for a second chance.
However, while Johnson’s story offers hope to those who have served lengthy sentences, his reintegration into society has been complex.
Johnson’s early life was marred by struggle. He was placed in special education classes due to undiagnosed dyslexia and had trouble in school. By high school, he was skipping classes and getting into trouble. His life took a darker turn when he was placed in a group foster home, where an attempt to steal a car turned deadly. Though Johnson did not participate in the crime, he was charged and convicted under the legal doctrine of felony murder, which holds accomplices responsible for a killing that occurs during the commission of a crime.
Prison was a brutal reality for Johnson. He experienced violence, beatings, and solitary confinement. At times, it felt as if he would never escape the darkness of his past. But a conversation with his grandmother became a turning point. Her words—”Everyone has a life sentence. We just serve it in different places”—led to a transformation in Johnson’s mindset. He began to dedicate himself to prison programs, like Shape Up, aimed at steering at-risk youth away from crime. He also became involved in restorative justice, working to repair harm and take responsibility for his role in the crime.
His record of good behavior helped secure his release when the Supreme Court ruling opened the door for juveniles like him to be reconsidered for parole.
Since his release, Johnson has had to learn everything that many of us take for granted. He pays rent, handles bills, and learns to navigate life outside the prison walls. He lives in Colorado Springs, where he enjoys the simple pleasures of life: the sounds of a dryer, the laughter of children, and the company of two playful puppies.
But the transition hasn’t been easy. Johnson’s past looms large, and he often struggles with self-doubt and anxiety. He acknowledges that his release comes with responsibility and recognizes the harm caused by his actions. “I feel a responsibility to my victim,” Johnson said, referring to the life lost in the crime he was convicted for. “If I don’t make an impact, I’m disrespecting his legacy.”
Johnson’s commitment to his family and to the community is evident. He met his wife, Jenny, through a restorative justice program while still incarcerated, and she has been a critical support system as he navigates his new life. Jenny works as a case manager at a rehabilitation center and helps Johnson adjust to the complexities of living outside prison.
While Johnson’s story of redemption is inspiring, questions linger about his involvement in criminal justice reform post-release. Having spent nearly a quarter of a century in prison, Johnson is in a unique position to offer valuable insights into the flaws of the justice system. Yet, despite his past, he seems to have distanced himself from active engagement in meaningful reform efforts.
Johnson was once an active figure in the Colorado Justice Reform Facebook page, but recently, his voice has become nearly silent. He was also involved in a podcast where he interviewed influential figures in criminal justice, such as former DOC Director Williams. However, Johnson’s interviews lacked the hard-hitting questions that are necessary to create real change in the system. Instead of challenging controversial figures, he engaged in casual, non-confrontational conversations that failed to delve into the deeper issues facing the justice system.
When asked about his approach to reform, Johnson explained that he didn’t want to “create unnecessary problems.” This response raises questions about his commitment to the cause of reform, as well as his understanding of the systemic issues at play.
His reluctance to engage in tough conversations and his apparent disconnection from the broader movements for reform suggests that Johnson has not fully embraced the responsibility that comes with his second chance. For someone who spent decades behind bars and experienced firsthand the harsh realities of the justice system, Johnson’s ability to speak out against its flaws seems increasingly distant.
Even more troubling is his reliance on others—namely, an elderly woman—to run his platform. When questioned about his lack of engagement with critical issues, Johnson’s response implied a lack of understanding of criminal law and reform. It seems that Johnson has squandered an invaluable opportunity to be a voice for justice reform, choosing instead to retreat from the very issues that should matter most to him.
Jeff Johnson’s release from prison marked a pivotal moment in his life. A young man who entered prison a child now has the chance to live as an adult. His story is a testament to the potential for growth and redemption, especially when informed by a deeper understanding of juvenile brain development and its implications for justice.
However, as he continues his life outside prison, Johnson must grapple with the weight of his second chance. He has the opportunity to make a profound impact in criminal justice reform, but so far, his actions have fallen short. Instead of embracing his responsibility to educate others and challenge the flaws of the justice system, Johnson has remained largely silent.
In the end, the true measure of Johnson’s redemption will not be found in his personal life or achievements but in his willingness to use his experience to help others. If he truly wants to honor his second chance, he must step up and become the voice of reform that so many others like him desperately need.
A Call for Accountability
At first glance, the idea of combining three individuals with personal and professional ties to the prison system seems like a recipe for success. One person has a loved one in prison, another has spent time behind bars, and the third has an ongoing connection to the system. However, upon deeper inspection, this may not be the perfect formula for progress—it’s more likely a setup for failure. Despite being established for over three years, this platform fails to deliver meaningful change or support, and the question is: why?
One glaring issue is the platform’s lack of transparency and clear purpose. What is this platform dedicated to? What is its agenda? What concrete steps are they taking to make real change? At best, it seems to be a space where articles are posted, people share comments, and a few voices get heard—but that’s about it. There is no clear strategy, no outline of actions, and certainly no roadmap for reform.
A particularly telling moment came when an individual tried to post an article I wrote about the DNA testing scandal in Colorado—an article aimed at exposing serious issues within the state’s prison system. Instead of allowing the post to be shared, Kathy Izor, a prominent member of this platform, censored it because my name was attached to the content. This raises some serious questions. Is this platform really about advocating for reform and justice, or is it just about protecting personal grudges and political agendas? Kathy Izor’s actions speak volumes. Rather than use the platform for its supposed mission—helping those affected by systemic issues in the prison system—she actively silenced a post that could have sparked important discussions. This behavior demonstrates that, at the heart of this platform, there’s a personal vendetta being played out, and it certainly doesn’t have the best interests of those affected by the justice system in mind.
This scenario isn’t the only red flag. The involvement of Director Williams in this platform also raises eyebrows. When Williams was in charge of the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC), his tenure was marked by chaos and dysfunction. It was as if the entire system was a free-for-all, where individuals could do whatever they wanted without oversight. As someone who was later fired from a community corrections facility in Alaska, it’s puzzling that he was offered a position in Colorado. His connections, rather than his qualifications, seemed to get him ahead, and that culture continued when he assumed leadership at the DOC.
For those who weren’t “in the circle,” working within the system was a constant uphill battle. The political landscape was dominated by personal relationships, and real reform was sidelined by favoritism and cronyism. This is the environment Director Stancil now has to clean up, but he has to contend with the wreckage left by Williams, including his questionable hires and the failed programs that came with them. One such program, led by Ashley Hamilton, garnered millions of dollars, yet it failed to serve its intended purpose and left many inmates behind. After taking nearly $3 million for her program, Hamilton walked away, leaving victims in her wake. She even lost her job at DU, but that didn’t seem to affect her new life, complete with a lavish home. How did Williams’ broken system enable this?
As for the people behind this reform platform, the connections and relationships with Williams’ past leadership only deepen the concerns. Why is Beth Stone, a key figure running this platform, involved with Jeff Johnson, a former inmate with a nickname “Jumpy”? What does their shared history and association with Williams mean for the platform’s ability to push for real reform? Johnson, who seems to be making a name for himself post-incarceration, should be using his experience and platform to hold the justice system accountable. Instead, his involvement raises questions about his priorities and actions. His connections to controversial figures only complicate matters further, as seen with his soft, unchallenging interviews with former DOC Director Williams and others.
Furthermore, Kathy Izor’s contributions seem outdated and disconnected from the needs of today’s justice system. As someone who has been out of the loop for decades, her attempts to engage with the current generation of reform advocates fall flat. With a new generation of reformers like Gen Z entering the field, those with outdated views and practices, like Izor, have lost touch with the challenges and perspectives needed to make real change.
This article serves as a cautionary tale for those seeking help or reform within the criminal justice system. Don’t be so quick to trust a platform simply because someone has “done time.” Just because someone has been incarcerated doesn’t automatically make them an expert on justice reform. True advocates should have a solid legal foundation, an understanding of the complex issues at play, and, most importantly, a genuine desire to push for systemic change.
So why aren’t these individuals—who claim to be advocates for change—fighting for more than just their personal interests? Where are their efforts to lobby for bills, find sponsors, or address real issues in the system? They’re not pushing for the structural changes necessary to make a meaningful impact. Instead, it seems their true agenda is focused on getting their own loved ones out of prison, with no real attention to the broader issues affecting the incarcerated population.
This platform may have once seemed like a hopeful avenue for reform, but in reality, it is another example of a system more interested in protecting personal connections and past relationships than advocating for those truly in need of support. It’s time to be cautious and vigilant, especially when seeking help from those with a history tied to the very system you’re trying to reform. If they’re not working for the greater good, they’re only perpetuating the same problems that need to be addressed.
Beware of False Advocates: Navigating the Complex World of Criminal Justice Reform
When someone we care about is swept into the criminal justice system, we find ourselves in uncharted territory. It’s overwhelming, confusing, and often isolating. In our desperation to make sense of the process, we look to others who have been through it before us, hoping they’ll guide us, share their knowledge, and provide us with answers. But too often, we place our trust in the wrong people.
Let this article serve as a cautionary tale for anyone engaging in criminal justice reform or advocacy. It’s crucial to carefully vet the individuals and organizations claiming to fight for justice. Much like evaluating a job candidate, you must examine their credentials, scrutinize their motives, and assess whether their goals align with yours. Blind trust in someone just because they speak out on a public platform can lead to disappointment—or worse, betrayal.
The Pitfalls of One-Sided Advocacy
True advocacy requires a commitment to seeing the whole picture, not just one perspective. Those who focus solely on their own experiences or agendas cannot truly help others. They risk becoming isolated in their viewpoints, ignoring the complexity of the system and the diversity of the people it affects.
Take, for example, individuals like “Beth.” She dedicates her life to visiting someone in prison every weekend, a relationship allegedly rooted in their shared history with drugs. This kind of connection can create an illusion of purpose but often ends in frustration when the foundation crumbles. Others, like “Johnson,” may appear dedicated on the surface but carry hidden agendas and personal vendettas that cloud their work. Advocacy cannot thrive on facades.
Advocacy: A Responsibility, Not a Stage
True advocacy is not about building a following or bolstering one’s ego. It’s about giving a voice to those who are silenced by the system. It’s about learning alongside them, testifying when necessary, and supporting those without the resources to navigate this harsh world. Advocacy is a responsibility, not a stage.
Unfortunately, some individuals in the criminal justice reform space use their platforms to further their own agendas, creating false narratives and misleading others. They hide behind their keyboards, spouting self-serving rhetoric while exploiting the stories of others. This is not advocacy—it’s exploitation.
If you are in this fight for personal gain or recognition, step aside. Advocacy demands authenticity, selflessness, and an unwavering commitment to the people you aim to help.
Freedom of Speech and the Power of Questions
Advocates must also defend the right to ask questions—no matter how uncomfortable or basic they may seem. For those unfamiliar with the system, every question matters. Silencing inquiries or censoring voices only perpetuates ignorance and inequality.
Some may argue that private platforms aren’t obligated to uphold free speech, citing rulings like those from the Colorado Supreme Court. While this may be legally correct, morally, advocates must stand firm in their commitment to transparency and open dialogue.
Moving Forward
To those navigating the criminal justice system or seeking to reform it, I urge you to:
- Investigate Before Trusting: Before aligning yourself with any advocate or organization, thoroughly research their background, track record, and motives.
- Seek Genuine Support: Look for individuals and groups who prioritize the needs of others over their personal agendas.
- Embrace Questions: Never shy away from asking for clarity or challenging the status quo.
- Stand United: True reform requires collective effort. Align with those who share your vision and values.
To those exploiting their platforms for personal gain: it’s time to reevaluate your purpose. Remember where you came from and why you started this journey. If your advocacy is no longer rooted in genuine care for others, it’s time to step back and reflect.
For the rest of us, let’s stay focused on the goal: empowering those who have been silenced, supporting those seeking answers, and dismantling a broken system. This fight is bigger than any one person—it’s about justice, equity, and humanity.
If you’re ready to truly advocate for change, I’m here. Message me. Let’s work together. If you’re not, step aside, because I will continue to challenge you, expose false narratives, and stay five steps ahead. This isn’t about popularity or politics—it’s about doing what’s right.
And for those who might try to censor my words: know this is not a dictatorship, and I will not back down. This is my promise to the people I serve, and I will see it through.
