Welcome to the Campaign to #FreeMaddesynGeorge. Maddesyn (Colville Confederated Tribes) is a survivor of domestic and sexual violence who has been incarcerated since July 2020 for defending herself against a white man who raped and threatened her. #MMIW #SurvivedAndPunished (1/6)
@FreeMaddesyn is organized by Maddesyn's defense committee, a coalition of members of Maddesyn’s family, survivors of gender violence; and advocates, organizers, and scholars who work on colonial, sexual, and domestic violence, policing and incarceration, and #MMIP. (2/6)
Facing a murder charge and decades in prison, Maddesyn accepted a plea deal from federal prosecutors after being incarcerated and separated from her infant daughter for more than a year. #Incarceration is a tool of #FamilySeparation (3/6)
Maddesyn was sentenced in the Eastern District of Washington Federal Court on November 17, 2021 to serve 6.5 years in prison. #StolenSister through the #AbusetoPrisonPipeline (4/6)
While Maddesyn and her family and defense committee are incredibly relieved that the prosecutors failed in their efforts to secure a longer sentence, we also strongly maintain that @USAO_EDWA's prosecution was unjust from beginning to end. (5/6)
We will continue to follow Maddesyn’s lead and support and organize with her and her family. And we will continue to collectively resist the cruelty of the colonial #carceralstate! #FreeMaddesyn #DecriminalizeSurvival (6/6)
