Support for CAN-DO: Justice Through Clemency
January 23, 2015
Years ago, I was incarcerated with Amy Ralston Povah in Dublin, CA. She received executive clemency a few months before I did in 2000. Since our release, we have worked on a couple of projects together where we were lobbying at the US Capitol and at the Department of Justice for sensible drug policy and pushing for the Pardon Attorney to grant clemency to other women who have cases that were just like ours. Women who we left behind in federal prison who deserve to be given a second chance at life, too. Some of who we know have already served over 20 years of their sentence with a life sentence. They have no release date.
Please go on her website http://www.candoclemency.com/ and read some of their stories and find out how you can be involved.
