Criminalized for Surviving

​

The campaign centers on a clemency petition directed at the Governor of Puerto Rico Jennifer González-Colón.

​

​

       Core Mission:

​To secure a sentence commutation for Cristine, who was convicted in the death of her two-month-old baby.

​

      The Narrative:

The campaign argues that Cristine is a survivor of domestic violence who was "wrongfully criminalized" by a system that failed to protect her.

​

       Organizational Support:

The initiative is heavily backed by Women Who Never Give Up, Inc. (WWNG), an organization dedicated to supporting women impacted by the justice system.

​

        Goal:

Beyond Cristine’s individual freedom, the site serves as a platform to "humanize victims of domestic violence" and advocate for broader reform in how the legal system treats survivors.
