The United States Congress has officially authorized the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to address the systemic abuses of the past and review the status of political prisoners. This outcome acknowledges the necessity of restorative justice for those who were targeted for their activism. We will remain diligent as the commission …
Calling for a U.S."TRUTH & RECONCILIATION COMMISSION"
To address the unconditional release of U.S. held Political Prisoners.
We the, undersigned, demand that the U.S. Congress do everything within it's Congressional power to complete the unfinished business of the "Church Committee Hearings". We demand Congress convene an independent "Truth & Reconciliation Commission" to address the criminal misdeeds and abuses of the U.S. intelligence agencies in general and COINTELPRO in particular. Specifically as it pertains to the Civil Rights/Black Liberation Movement era.
We seek restorative justice and the immediate release of all of those who put their lives on the line for freedom and justice and thus have been languishing in prisons across America due to their political activities, associations and views.
"Justice delayed is justice denied" Rev. Martin L. King.
The momentum behind this petition continues to grow as we approach two hundred and fifty signatures. Please direct others to this page now so we can reach the next milestone before we present these demands to Congress.

The growing momentum behind this call for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission reflects a profound public desire for accountability. It is clear that the need to address these historical abuses resonates deeply with many people across the country. This collective energy encourages me to continue pressing for the release of these political prisoners.

THEY NEED TO BE RELEASED NOW. COINTELPRO was a crime against the people and the government needs to own up to it already.
