5 Ways to Help J6ers

How you can help those being politically persecuted in the US.

It’s not a secret that I’m passionate (that is such an overused term, but oh well) about the J6ers…in fact, it’s become pretty personal to me. Hopefully your interest and compassion have been piqued too. It can be easy to get overwhelmed and feel helpless. But, we are not helpless, and these guys and gals need our help!

If you were you or me, or one of our family members or friends, we’d want people to help, wouldn’t we? And it could be us.

Here are 5 things you can do to help the J6ers.

1. Write encouraging notes.

Send a note to one - or many - of the J6ers! Be prepared to get mail returned to you. I’m not sure if this is because of all the “diesel therapy,” another reason, or a combination. But don’t let this stop you. You very well could hear back from the J6er(s) you’ve written.

Writing to J6ers is a big way that this situation has become so personal to me.

I think I’ve heard it said that the mail these political prisoners receive is a “lifeline,” and Pam Hemphill talked about how much mail meant to her when she was imprisoned (about 18 or 19 minutes into the linked video). You have the opportunity to bring an enormous amount of hope…and likely all you have to buy is a postage stamp! Many of these prisoners have been kept in horrid, abusive conditions for over a year. What if it were you or me in that position? Or a son, daughter, husband, wife, etc?

Here are three sites you can visit to look for lists and addresses:

• Patriot Mail Project

  • You can access a spreadsheet or filter a list.

  • You can also send notes to patriots on home detention c/o Patriot Mail Project.

• American Gulag

  • Click on the individual you’d like to write.

  • If he/she is incarcerated, you can scroll down to an address under “Prison Name.”

• Bureau of Prisons

  • Search for the inmate by name.

  • This seems to only work for federal prisons. It looks like if the inmate you’re looking for has been moved to a place like Northern Neck Regional Jail, he/she is marked as “released” on the BOP website. Keep in mind that with a transfer, the inmate’s register number could be changed, so it’s probably best to search by name.

Finding the current mailing address of an inmate can be a little tricky, probably because the inmates seem to get moved around so frequently. Don’t let this stop you from writing!

2. Write officials.

Write your elected officials, such as congressmen and senators. Let them know that this is important. We need these elected officials to push to get to the bottom of this. We also need them to push to have prisoners (J6 prisoners and other prisoners too) treated humanely.

Consider sending encouraging notes to congressmen who are already advocating for these prisoners to thank them for their work. Some to check out are Marjorie Taylor Greene, Louie Gohmert, and Matt Gaetz.

Also think about contacting news outlets or podcasts requesting or suggesting they cover the situation. If you hear an outlet working to expose what’s going on, send a message to thank them and request more!

Don’t be afraid to be a squeaky wheel, particularly when contacting elected officials. If we were in the position of these guys and gals, we’d want someone advocating for us, right?

3. Advocate.

There’s a lot of “misinformation” (real misinformation, not facebook fact-checker garbage) out there about January 6. There are a lot of lies out there about January 6.

People don’t realize that American citizens are being held pre-trial for over a year in awful conditions. Some people don’t care to learn, but some just don’t know.

People also hear the left-wing narrative that it was an “insurrection” and don’t hear the side that police were attacking protestors and there were likely government agitators in the crowds. Again, some people don’t care to learn, but some just don’t know.

You can also share reputable articles regarding J6. Here is a good place to start.

If you’re in the area of an event, consider attending a vigil at the DC Gulag, a vigil at Northern Neck, or other events supporting the J6ers. Remember to ignore any counter-protestors!

Sadly, advocating for these prisoners could get any of us canceled in numerous ways. Are you willing to take the risk?

4. Donate.

Many J6ers and families have fundraisers on GiveSendGo or other platforms. These people are struggling financially. They’ve lost jobs, have public defenders who are no good, and need funds for commissary. If you wish to donate monetarily, this is a good option. Many of the J6 fundraisers are linked at Stop Hate or on the J6er’s page on American Gulag.

You can also donate a little anytime you hear back from a J6er you’ve written to. This can help cover some commissary, including postage stamps.

5. Pray.

This is the most powerful. This doesn’t mean just sit around and do nothing with the excuse that you’re praying. Pam Hemphill said that with God the J6ers will get out, “but you gotta be the soldiers for Him.” We get to have the Creator of the Universe as our leader!

Here some ideas if you’re not sure what to pray for:

• Salvation for everyone involved who doesn’t know Jesus.

• The men and women in prison and home detention.

  • Comfort.

  • Nourishment (physical and spiritual).

• The J6 families.

  • Encouragement.

  • That their needs will be met.

• The guards.

  • Compassion toward the prisoners.

  • Courage to do what’s right.

• The lawyers, judges, and juries.

  • Wisdom.

  • Courage to stand for what’s right.

• The J6 committee.

  • Conviction in their hearts to do what’s right.

  • Removal of any hatred from their hearts.

• God’s Will in all of this.

If you don’t know what to pray, just pray! The Bible says that “We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans” (read all of Romans 8:26-27 here). As Christians, we don’t have to have all of the answers…we don’t even have to have all the words to pray!

You can also join the Prayers for Prisoners group on Gab.

Americans for Justice also has some calls to action.
