Bring Chuck Zimmerman Home — An American Held in Russia
The Issue
Chuck Zimmerman, a U.S. Navy veteran and American father, has been detained in Russia since June 2025 and sentenced to five years in prison. We are asking the U.S. government to make his release a priority, pursue diplomatic efforts to bring him home safely, ensure appropriate consular access, and review his case for formal wrongful-detention designation. His family and friends need our support to make sure Chuck is not forgotten.
