The Issue

**Why This Sentence Is Unjust**
Jordon Jamar Ford is facing a devastating injustice: a 116-year federal sentence arising from the unlawful stacking of mandatory 924(c) gun sentences. At the time of Jordon's sentencing, federal law allowed for the "stacking" of section 924(c) convictions, resulting in mandatory consecutive sentences that led to excessively long imprisonment for cases with multiple firearm counts. This practice was later criticized for creating disproportionately punitive outcomes, particularly for first-time offenders.

**The Legislative Shift**
Recognizing the injustice, Congress took a significant step forward by passing the First Step Act of 2018. Section 403(b) of this Act specifically limited the ability to impose multiple, stacked 924(c) mandatory consecutive terms on first-time offenders. Unfortunately, this reform came too late for Jordon, who remains imprisoned under the old, punitive regime. Today, his sentence stands as a stark outlier, and a reminder of a past legislative oversight.

**A Call for Justice**
Justice For Jordon is a grassroots campaign dedicated to righting this profound injustice. Our mission is to restore fairness to Jordon's sentencing, secure relief through every lawful avenue, and raise public awareness. By supporting our campaign, you can help advocate for legislative and judicial remedies to ensure that no one else endures such an unlawful sentence in the future.

**Join Our Fight**
We believe that true justice involves the ability to recognize mistakes and rectify them. Jordon's life should not be defined by an outdated legal practice that has since been deemed unfair and has been reformed. By securing justice for Jordon, we strive to set a precedent that further reinforces the principles of fairness and equity in our justice system.

Please join us by signing this petition. Your voice matters, and together, we can make a difference in ensuring a fair and just outcome for Jordon Jamar Ford. Help us amplify this message and bring about the change that is so desperately needed.
