How Can YOU Help?

Max needs your help. He can’t win this fight without you. He has already spent [[DAYS]] days in pre-trial detention without a conviction, without bail, and without the ability to see his family in person. His case has devastated his life and the lives of those who love him. Your voice can help bring attention, fairness, and accountability to a process that has failed him.

Share Max’s Story

Public attention matters. Prosecutors and federal agencies operate with enormous discretion, and they are far more careful when the public is watching. Share this website, post Max’s story on social media, and help shine a light on the extreme penalties he is facing for a non-violent, victimless cannabis offense. Awareness is power.

Tell The White House

Because Max is being prosecuted in federal court, presidential clemency is a legitimate and appropriate remedy. You can respectfully urge the White House to review Max’s case and consider clemency. The President has the constitutional authority to correct excessive or disproportionate federal punishment.

Get Involved

Max is currently represented by a public defender with limited time and resources for a case of this complexity and magnitude. Effective legal defense is crucial.

You can help by:

  • Sharing leads on experienced federal criminal defense attorneys

  • Connecting the family with legal nonprofit organizations

  • Reaching out if you work in law, policy, or journalism and want to help

Any connection, referral, or professional guidance can make a real difference. Get in touch
