OUR JOURNEY
On January 6, 2021, a defining moment in American history laid bare the profound fissures within the nation’s justice system, exposing deep-seated challenges to the principles of liberty and fairness. What began as a courageous stand for freedom and truth swiftly transformed into an arduous battle for justice, dignity, and the preservation of fundamental rights.
In the wake of this pivotal event, countless brave individuals and their families faced unimaginable hardships, enduring trials that tested their resilience and spirit. From this crucible of adversity, Stand in the Gap was born—a beacon of hope and solidarity, founded to walk hand-in-hand with those affected, offering unwavering support, compassionate advocacy, and a steadfast commitment to restoring their dignity and rebuilding their lives.
OUR MISSION
Restoring Lives Beyond the Pardon
With profound gratitude, we celebrate the historic actions of President Donald J. Trump, who, on the evening of his inauguration on January 20, 2025, extended pardons or commutations to every January 6th defendant, bringing an end to their 1,475-day ordeal and restoring their freedom. This momentous act of clemency marked a turning point for these patriots, whose lives were forever changed, offering them a renewed opportunity to reclaim their place in society.
At Stand in the Gap, our mission is deeply rooted in the conviction that legal forgiveness is only the beginning. We are committed to fostering emotional healing and providing comprehensive, practical support to ensure that each individual can rebuild their life with dignity, hope, and purpose, fully reintegrating into their communities with the strength to start anew.
