WE HAVE REACHED A SMALL GOAL… AND MY HEART IS FULL. BUT WE CANNOT STOP HERE.
WE HAVE REACHED A SMALL GOAL… AND MY HEART IS FULL. BUT WE CANNOT STOP HERE.
Every single signature means more than a number on a petition.
It means someone stopped what they were doing long enough to say, “I see you, Jay. Your life matters. Your transformation matters. Your future matters.”
To every person who has signed, shared, sent the petition to a friend, or whispered a prayer for Jose “Jay” Rodriguez—thank you. Truly.
We reached a small goal, but small victories become movements when people refuse to stop pushing.
Behind this petition is a real human being. A brother. A loved one. A man who has spent decades behind prison walls, endured tremendous hardship, battled cancer, lost his eye, and still found the strength to believe that his life could have purpose beyond his circumstances.
We are asking for the opportunity for his next chapter to be written in freedom.
Imagine what one signature means to someone who has spent decades wondering whether the world outside those walls still sees him.
Imagine telling Jay, “People you have never met are standing for you. They believe your life is worth fighting for.”
That is what we are building.
Hope.
Voice.
Community.
A reminder that no human being should be reduced forever to one chapter of their story.
So please—keep signing. Keep sharing. Keep talking about Jay.
Send this petition to one more person today. Ask them to send it to another.
Because perhaps one signature feels small.
But hundreds become a message.
Thousands become a demand to be heard.
And together, those voices can become the sound of a door finally opening.
We reached one goal. Now we keep going until the goal is HOME.
For Jay.
For redemption.
For second chances.
For every family that has refused to stop believing.
Governor Hochul, please grant Jose “Jay” Rodriguez clemency.
We will keep pushing.
We will keep believing.
We will keep saying his name.
And we will keep fighting to BRING JAY HOME.
Together We Rise.
