Target: U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia
Goal: We call on Judge Jia Cobb and the U.S. Attorney's Office to ensure that Emily Gabriella Sommer receives a fair sentence that prioritizes mental health support and restorative justice over punitive measures.
Emily Gabriella Sommer's case has captured public attention due to her protest against Ed Martin Jr., whose tenure as acting U.S. Attorney was marked by controversy and bipartisan opposition. While Ms. Sommer's actions—spitting and making threats—are not condoned, it is important to recognize the context: a climate of political tension, frustration with public officials, and apparent signs of mental distress.
Harsh punitive sentencing does not address the root causes of such behavior and risks perpetuating cycles of harm. Instead, we urge the court to consider alternatives that focus on rehabilitation, mental health care, and restorative justice. This approach not only serves Ms. Sommer but also upholds the values of a just and equitable society.
We stand in solidarity with all those who believe in compassionate justice and the right to protest government misconduct. We urge you to:
Key Demands
- Prioritize mental health evaluation and treatment for Emily Gabriella Sommer as part of any sentencing.

- Acknowledge the political context and emotional distress that contributed to the incident.
- Implement policies that support de-escalation and non-punitive responses to non-violent protest actions.
- Ensure transparency and fairness throughout the sentencing process.
