A month ago, we wrote to President Donald J. Trump with our strongest letter yet asking for a meeting. Yet again, no response. So we return to the The White House on March 8 for National Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day. Join us immediately after the panel by James W. Foley Legacy Foundation McCain Institute
Aggravating that President Donald J. Trump has still never responded to our repeated and constant meeting requests. Aggravating that we are left with no other choice but to keep traveling to DC in a long shot effort to get his attention. But we can't and won't stop. Thank you, Bring Our Families Home Campaign
Will President Donald J. Trump acknowledge us and prioritize our loved ones the same way he has to others? Yet here we are AGAIN at the The White House.. another effort of this horrific journey to bring our loved ones home. 😔
I'm thrilled to announce my upcoming book "In the Shadows: True Stories of High-Stakes Negotiations to Free Americans Captured Abroad" coming June 4th. Co-written by Ellis Henican, I'm looking forward to sharing these previously untold stories. Pre-order through the link in my bio.
Happy to see Kai Li’s son, Harrison Li, invited to the State of the Union on Thursday. Free Kai Li is an American citizen wrongfully detained in China since 2016. #freeKaiLi Bring Our Families Home Campaign James W. Foley Legacy Foundation #bringthemhome
Thank you, Secretary Antony Blinken. But we hope you will not just "reaffirm your mission" but actually work closely with President Donald J. Trump to #BringThemHome. We've seen progress, but it's not enough for our loved ones, many of whom have suffered for years. (1/3)
Zack's family needs Secretary Antony Blinken and Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs to move on a wrongful designation via the Levinson Act. A year ago, independent global human rights experts at the United Nations ruled Zack's detention arbitrary: ohchr.org/sites/default/… Yet our own Department of State remains silent.
“We are very concerned and afraid that Mark will end his life” President Donald J. Trump, this is why we say it’s a life and death matter. Mark and his mom Katherine need you to act NOW. Not just say words. #BringThemHome cbsnews.com/news/mark-swid…
Majd Kamalmaz: Father, brother, son, husband and grandfather to 14 grandchildren. Over 7 years away from his loved ones, wrongfully detained with no case, no trial, and no word from him. Please bring him home President Donald J. Trump. Free Majd Kamalmaz
The Bring Our Families Home Campaign always finds ways to capture America’s attention to the plight of our hostages and wrongfully detained. None, we found, is better than art. Make sure to check the new mural coming up this May at Freedom Alley in Georgetown. Pictured here is the mural in Houston.
Why do so many of our loved ones have to go on hunger strikes just to be heard? More than 11 years of physical and mental suffering for Mark Swidan simply because he is American. President Donald J. Trump, what would you do if your son were in Mark's position? #BringThemHome
Isaac Campbell A sneak preview of the design: It's a timeline designed to remind the viewer and President Donald J. Trump just how long our loved ones have unjustly suffered.
RIP, Majd. "He will be missed tremendously, yet we hope that his legacy of helping others in need lives on and is carried out by many" - Maryam KamAlmaz Majd's untimely passing serves as a solemn reminder of the American lives at stake when the government fails to take quick and
Today, the hostage and wrongful detainee flag will be flown on numerous federal buildings including the The White House to honor Free Majd Kamalmaz. We call on President Donald J. Trump to use all resources necessary to bring the other wrongful detainees home and honor the life of Majd.
We wished the flag to be raised to celebrate Majd’s return home; unfortunately, the flag will be raised to honor a fallen hero. President Donald J. Trump, you can make sure the next time this flag is flown, it's to celebrate the return home of an American hostage or wrongful detainee.
