What we did, in four pillars.
Highlights from the Foundation’s records, as dated. [Brad to confirm list]
Capacity building
We built the systems, teams and knowledge that let victims, volunteers and independent advocates document what happened and press for transparency and accountability.
Citizen’s Panel of Inquiry
A citizens’ investigative panel on pandemic-related wrongs.
Change Makers meetings
Convened attorneys nationwide to share information. From no cases filed in August 2021, when PREP Act immunity was widely seen as a bar, to more than 80 cases filed nationwide by independent attorneys by November 2023.
Memory and testimony project
Documented victims’ stories with written accounts and recorded video, and trained volunteer interviewers to collect them: 1,500+ eyewitness recollections.
The 25 Commonalities
A document of shared characteristics drawn from 1,300+ victim stories.
We the People 50: Recall the Shots
A state-attorney-general consumer-protection effort, with state chairs and co-chairs organizing in each state.
Non-partisan legislative committee
Worked on state and federal bills on medical freedom and the Bill of Rights.
Media and awareness
The FormerFeds Focus podcast, two Substacks, billboards, an aerial banner, car magnets and stickers, and Halt Hospital Homicide rallies in San Antonio and Houston (the first drew 550+ victims from every state).
Support for independent legal efforts
Supported the Liberty Lawsuit against Facebook (Dec 2020), the first remdesivir constructive-fraud suit in California (Sep 2023), and amicus filings at the U.S. Supreme Court including U.S. v. Fischer. These were brought by independent attorneys.
Support groups
We built a community so that no one harmed by the pandemic response had to face it alone.
Facebook groups
HCQ ACCESS NOW and IVERMECTIN: The People’s Medicine, with thousands of members, sharing information on early treatment.
15 weekly support meetings
Held 7 days a week, including a PTSD workshop, art therapy, a survivors group, and a juvenile trauma and recovery group.
Wolfpack Widow Network
Volunteers who had lost loved ones and powered much of the Foundation’s work.
National Citizen Task Force
165+ volunteer members, mostly widows and victims, across 20+ committees.
Hospital Advocacy Group
Helped patients and families navigate the hospital setting.
Home-cooked Memories
A victim cookbook: From Our Heart to Your Table.
Coalition partners
Worked with Covid19 Widows and Widowers for Justice, Our Amazing Grace, Nurses Freedom Network, Guardians of Medical Choice, Freedom Fighters, React19, Declare Truth and others.
Standing with the Amish
Supported Amish families targeted by state governments, including in the Amos Miller matter.
Public support for national reparations
We stood publicly for a simple principle: when government power is used to harm its own citizens, the nation owes them a remedy. We supported national reparations for four groups of Americans who bore the cost of overreach: January 6 defendants, Amish families, victims of COVID mandates, and people silenced by censorship.
January 6 defendants
We stood with January 6 defendants and the journalists who covered them, and we supported the amicus effort at the U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Fischer, which challenged the government’s use of 18 U.S.C. § 1512. We believed those who were overcharged or held under that theory deserved more than a reversal. They deserved to be made whole.
The Amish
We supported Amish families targeted by state governments in vaccine-mandate and regulatory fights, including the Amos Miller matter. A community that asks only to live by its conscience should never have to absorb the cost of the state’s pursuit.
Victims of COVID mandates
We documented more than 1,500 eyewitness accounts of what mandates and hospital protocols did to American families. That record showed the harm was real, widespread and patterned, and that the people who carried it deserved recognition and repair.
People harmed by censorship
We supported the Liberty Lawsuit against Facebook and “fact-checking” organizations to expose government-directed suppression of speech. Americans who lost their voices, reputations or livelihoods for speaking out were owed a remedy too.
Reform from within
We built systems and popular support for reforming institutions from within, led by people who had served in government. Former and current public servants knew how the machinery worked and where it had failed, and we brought them together to reshape policy and press for reforms that would restore the balance of power and the proper function of institutions. Throughout, we insisted on general deterrence and accountability to readjust incentives, and on government transparency and enforcement to realign great American institutions and systems.
Naming the failures
Our trustees and officers identified the core institutional failures: lack of oversight, transparency and enforcement; corrupted and conflicted research; agency capture; and the subjugation of U.S. constitutional law to international bodies.
Equipping the watchdogs
We created the Remdesivir Deck, a primer for the Inspector General community, so investigators inside government had a starting point on potential grant fraud and corruption.
Encouraging insiders to come forward
We developed the Humanity Restoration Panel and a proposed Leniency Enforcement Program, designed to encourage whistleblowers and stimulate enforcement from within.
Insisting on deterrence and accountability
We insisted that wrongdoing by those in power carry real consequences. General deterrence and accountability were how incentives would be readjusted, and transparency and enforcement were how great American institutions and systems would be realigned to serve the people they exist for.
Building popular support
Through our non-partisan legislative committee, state teams and public awareness work, we built citizen support for reforms at the state and federal level.
The Foundation did not represent anyone in court. Where lawsuits are mentioned, they were brought by independent attorneys; the Foundation’s role was organizing, documentation and public awareness.
