Reparations Movement for J6 Victims Gains Momentum

Now that many January 6 political prisoners have gained freedom through pardons issued by President Donald Trump, the movement to legally seek reparations for victims of the government’s four-year witch hunt is rapidly gaining momentum.

As previously reported by Unleashed.news, powerhouse attorneys Trump attorney and long-time friend of President Donald J. Trump Peter Ticktin and Mark T. McCloskey, AV-Rated Personal Injury Attorney and Legal Advocate have joined forces to pursue financial compensation for the hundreds of American patriots who were persecuted, imprisoned, and stripped of their rights following the Capitol protests on January 6, 2021.

Now, a team of “experienced lawyers, strategic thinkers, and dedicated advocates” at the American Rights Alliance (ARA) is joining the fight. The organization is stepping in to help accelerate this mission. Today, ARA has turned its focus toward helping the victims of January 6 regain what they have lost. ARA is fully committed to helping Ticktin and McCloskey carry out their critical legal work.

Founded by Evan Turk, ARA is a 501(c)(3) organization originally established to protect First Amendment rights and promote election integrity. Funded through proceeds raised from the sale of T-shirts featuring Donald Trump’s iconic mugshot—a project led by Donald Trump Jr.—ARA has now focused its mission on supporting J6 victims and the legal efforts underway by Peter Ticktin and Mark McCloskey.

“Right now, we’re in the position of raising funds,” Turk told Unleashed.news. “These people lost years of their lives, their livelihoods, and their ability to support their families. This should never have happened.”

ARA is serving as the fundraising vehicle to provide much-needed, time-sensitive support for these victims and to ensure that Peter Ticktin at The Ticktin Law Group and Mark McCloskey at McCloskey Law have the resources to win these cases. In the meantime, ARA is helping pardoned J6ers find jobs and a place to call home while rebuilding the lives that the government destroyed. ARA is already assisting with transitional support, such as helping pardoned J6ers find housing and jobs, while also filing amicus briefs to clarify the constitutional violations they endured.

“These people lost years of their lives and their ability to support their family,” Turk explicated, adding that the J6 story shouldn’t end with their pardons. “I don’t want the message to be, well, you’re free now. You’re free to go,” he said. “The message should be, this should never have happened in the first place, and we’re here for you.”

ARA is already advocating on behalf of Couy Griffin, a former New Mexico county commissioner who was sentenced to 14 days in jail and removed from office under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection clause” due to his misdemeanor trespass charge related to his participation in the January 6 protest.

Turk emphasized, “We’re here to support Peter and Mark. We want to help fund the lawsuits, raise awareness, and give these victims hope again.”

As Turk explained, ARA was originally funded by Donald Trump Jr. through proceeds raised from selling T-shirts emblazoned with the image of his father’s now-iconic mugshot.

“He didn’t want to profit from it, so he donated that to create a legal defense fund. Once we started it, we really allowed it to evolve into primarily a First Amendment 501(c)(3) that speaks for people who are political prisoners in one way or another.”

J6ers, Ticktin and McCloskey vs. the United States Government

Ticktin and McCloskey are preparing legal actions against the United States Government directly. Why? Because:

• The U.S. Government has the immediate ability to pay
• The victims are in desperate, immediate need of relief
• The government’s duty to protect its citizens was grossly violated and now must be restored

Why “Reparations”?

Some may bristle at the word, but it is entirely fitting. According to Oxford, “reparations” are “The action of making amends for a wrong or harm done by providing payment or other assistance to the wronged party.”

Ticktin, McCloskey, and Turk agree: what happened to the J6 victims meets that definition.

These Americans endured unimaginable abuse:

• Solitary confinement for weeks and months, often in inhumane conditions
• Blacklisting via no-fly lists
• Loss of jobs, businesses, reputations, and all forms of income
• Destroyed marriages and alienated families
• Stripped of veterans benefits they earned in service to the country now punishing them
• Legal defense funds like GiveSendGo accounts confiscated by the courts
• Constitutional rights trampled: 4th, 6th, and 8th Amendments routinely ignored

Some were driven to suicide. Their families carry that grief every day.

Reparations are not about charity. They are about justice.

A Two-Step Solution: Justice and Accountability

Ticktin and McCloskey are clear: First, make the victims whole. Then, recover those funds from the true culprits.

That means once the U.S. Government fulfills its duty to compensate those it wronged, it can then pursue civil and criminal accountability from:

• Federal agencies like the FBI and DOJ;
• Members of Congress and administration officials who weaponized justice;
• The C. government, Capitol Police, and MPD;
• Legacy media outlets and activist networks who propagated false narratives.

This is not about handouts. It’s about correcting state-sponsored abuse and restoring justice.

“Reparations must be paid — reparations to cause the repair,” said Peter Ticktin.

Despite efforts by J6 defense attorneys to move trials out of Washington D.C., every case was tried in a hostile jurisdiction. “There were no Republicans, no peers in the jury pool,” Turk said. “It was impossible to get a fair trial. That’s why we’re focused on moving our legal battles outside of D.C. to give these cases a real chance.”

The Real Insurrection

While the Biden administration and its media allies continue to label J6 protesters as “insurrectionists,” Ticktin and McCloskey say the real insurrection was perpetrated by the government itself.

“There was an insurrection that day,” McCloskey said, “but it wasn’t the people supporting Donald Trump. It was the government that set up and entrapped a large group of people into a situation that was preplanned.”

Ticktin added, “We have enough evidence to prove who orchestrated January 6 — and it wasn’t the J6ers. This is not a game. These are people who should either be in prison or hanged.”

What began as a peaceful protest devolved into chaos only after Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers began lobbing flash-bangs into the crowd, dousing them with CS gas, and shooting them with rubber bullets.

Evidence has emerged of provocateurs, embedded federal informants, and known ANTIFA operatives infiltrating the crowd. Plainclothes MPD officers in the crowd were marked with wristbands. A federal prosecutor admitted three MPD officers acted as provocateurs. The New York Post reported the FBI had at least 26 informants involved.

According to Turk, what happened on January 6 was not an insurrection by Trump’s supporters, but rather “a single event used by the Biden administration as a political opportunity to defeat their political enemies.”

McCloskey and Ticktin concur.

Momentum Is Building

As the truth comes to light, support is growing. ARA’s involvement is only accelerating the effort.

“We are working through different initiatives to ensure that this will never happen again,” Turk told Unleashed.news of ARA’s effort to restore the shattered lives of J6ers. “We want to make sure they get back to where they were, if not in a better place.”

McCloskey believes that when Americans understand the full extent of the abuse, they will be horrified: “I think they will be so offended by what happened, and so afraid of ever letting this happen again, that it will never recur.”

“If the American taxpayers won’t step up to help make these individuals whole in their immediate time of need, who will?” said Peter Ticktin.

First: Reparations. Then: Accountability.

The fight is on.
