President Trump gave me a second chance at life. Now, it is my mission to help others have the same opportunity.
We have sent emails to the University of Minnesota, University of Chicago, University of St. Thomas, University of California, Villanova University, and NYU with additional details on how their clemency clinics can participate in this important effort. We are excited to partner with law students and faculty to submit candidates that deserve a second chance for consideration.
As a reminder, anyone is able to submit a clemency request for consideration.
