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, a Washington, D.C. resident, has pleaded guilty to assault charges following a high-profile incident involving the former acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin Jr. and law enforcement officers. While her actions were inappropriate, the context of her protest and her behavior suggest deeper issues that require a compassionate, just, and rehabilitative response.

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:
