Stop Bankruptcy Abuse—Reform the Law to Protect Victims


Stop Bankruptcy Abuse—Reform the Law to Protect Victims
The Issue
When Alex Jones was ordered to pay $1.3 billion to the Sandy Hook families for spreading cruel lies about the school shooting, the families thought justice had finally been served. But years later, they’re still waiting—because Jones is using bankruptcy law to avoid paying what he owes.
This isn't just about one man. It’s about a broken system that allows wealthy individuals and corporations to twist the rules, delay justice, and wear down victims through endless court battles.
The Sandy Hook families have endured unimaginable pain: losing their children to gun violence, then being harassed by conspiracy theorists for over a decade. Now, they face years of bankruptcy hearings where legal loopholes have taken priority over basic accountability.
We need Congress to act.
Sign this petition to demand that lawmakers close the loopholes in bankruptcy law that allow bad actors to dodge court-ordered penalties. Civil judgments—especially those tied to defamation, harassment, or abuse—should not be optional.
Victims shouldn’t have to fight forever. Let’s fix the law so justice can’t be bought, delayed, or buried in legal red tape.
