Just finished "In the Shadows" by @MickeyBergman and @henican about the work Mickey did with Governor Bill Richardson (and still does since Bill passed) to free Americans take hostage by other countries. An excellent read. Highly recommend.

My op-ed co-authored with Diane Foley, someone who understands better than anyone the consequences of inaction or even delayed action when it comes to bringing home our American hostages and wrongful detainees.

Check out @BOFHcampaign families’ latest advocacy project for their loved ones held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad. Exhibit on display May 4 to May 8 in Washington DC at Russell Senate Office Building Rotunda. 🇺🇸
Behind every great story are those people behind the scenes. They don’t appear in the press often bc they don’t take credit. Dustin Stewart is a quiet 🇺🇸 hero. Over 170 people home since @realDonaldTrump@SecRubio were sworn in — @StateSPEHA we congratulate and honor you my friend.
To Shelley Kittelson's loved ones: you have agency. What you do can save her life. I've lived this when @LizHurra was kidnapped by the same terrorists — have a strategy.
To anyone victim-blaming: stop. You may cost an innocent woman her life. Get her home, then throw your "I told you so" party. Until then, shut up.
@LizHurra When it comes to strategy for freeing hostages from KH captivity, no one is better than @GlobalReachDC. Amazingly, they are also free to the families of hostages. Don't pay people to help you bring your loved one home. It's probably a scam

Absolutely thrilled to have @HannaSiegel join us on the Board of the @JamesFoleyFund. Her experience as a nonprofit leader and strategist AND her personal experience advocating for the safe release of her uncle and aunt taken hostage by Hamas on October 7th makes her valuable asset to the Foundation's future. There is so much work to be done and we must do better advocating for our American hostages and wrongful detainees and safeguarding our journalists whose work puts them at risk.

Finally, blessedly, free after 903 days in captivity. Thank you President @realDonaldTrump, for the decisive action that brought me home without anything given in return to the kidnappers, Kataeb Hezbollah.
I am deeply grateful to Special Envoy for Hostage Response @aboehler, @SecRubio, @StateSPEHA, Mark Savaya, and @MickeyBergman for securing my release. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who tried to help in any way.

We are heartened by the release of Elizabeth Tsurkov, a journalist and Princeton University student, who was held captive in Iraq for over 900 days. We commend @aboehler and our partners @GlobalReachDC for their efforts to secure her freedom. This example of international cooperation gives us hope for greater collective action to end the unlawful detention of innocent individuals around the world.
Ray of light during unsettling times. We all need people in our corner who will never give up on us. For Israeli @Princeton student @Elizrael, it was @POTUS@StateSPEHA@aboehler & Global Reach’s @MickeyBergman & Eric Lebson. ❤️👏🏼🕊️ https://t.co/u8yiGVTLFT
Thank you @POTUS@realDonaldTrump &
@aboehler for doing this for @Elizrael! Congratulations
@emma_tsurkov - your tenacious advocacy has finally brought freedom for your sister. And congratulations to the nonprofit Global Reach for reuniting yet another family. Eric Lebson and @MickeyBergman were my advisors in my fight to bring home my brother. Their record speaks for itself. WELCOME HOME dear Elizabeth.
