Jan 6 For DC Kids Christmas Initiative

By Jonathan Mellis
Published November 30, 2021

The best feeling in the world is making someone’s life easier. To truly bring happiness to a fellow human is so gratifying it is addictive. It is especially divine to bring joy to a child. Children are too innocent to understand misfortune, when they lose a parent, or grow up in poverty. We all know the rule to respect our elders, but we should also entertain and amuse our children. It takes a village. We should show the children of our community love and affection.

Right now for us Jan 6ers in the DC jail our local community is DC. Christmas is coming up fast and for us Patriots who love to normally be involved in our communities throughout the year, this is especially the time of year we want to give back. We find ourselves in a unique position. We have an interesting ability to raise money AND we are living in a large city with lots of children who may be living under difficult circumstances for the Holidays.

As the Jan 6ers living in the Patriot Pod in the DC jail, we know how horrible the conditions are here. So we have quite the soft spot for our brothers in general population. These inhumane conditions are only one aspect to the nightmare this city puts our brothers through. They grew up in DC, went to school here, got their first job here, and have children here. The opportunities and safety this city offered them are slim to none. Now as a result of that they are in this disgusting and inhumane DC jail with us. Who is supposed to supply a joyful Holiday season to their children if they are trapped in here because of a system that doesn’t care?

We Jan 6ers feel terrible about innocent children being caught in the middle of such a heartless and dangerous cycle. We will never be able to make the courts send their fathers home. We can’t replace the joy of the Holidays with their fathers. But what we can do is help raise funds for these children. Maybe we can make them smile, even if its just for an hour. It will be worth it for one smile.

So we are calling on our supporters around the country to make these DC kids smile a reality. We will be specifically looking to reach all of the children of our brothers in the DC jail. Then we will be looking to donate large checks to children’s programs around DC. Churches, Mosques, Temples, and any organization helping the children of our nations Capital will be considered.

Please support this cause. If you care about the Jan 6ers and our happiness and well-being, I implore you to donate to this cause. We want all of you to bless everyone less fortunate than yourself regardless of where they are from, their religion, or their race. We are all brothers and sisters. We are all struggling together and we need to help each other as best we can. Let’s show the world that our Movement is a Movement of goodness and love. Let’s show the world who we really are. It’s time the Earth gets comes together once and for all. Let’s bring some smiles to the faces of our children in Washington DC. Let’s show them that we love them.

God bless you and God bless America.

Merry Christmas,

Dear America,
My name is Jonathan Mellis. I am a J6 detainee being held in the DC jail in a pod with other J6ers. The DC jail is a total nightmare. There are so many human rights violations that it is honestly amazing that this place is still allowed to hold inmates. I have personally witnessed the most inhumane and unconstitutional treatment of my life. Months of solitary confinement for no reason with no due process, several senseless beatings of other J6 detainees by the correctional officers, lack of proper dietary nutrition, cleaning chemicals in our meals as retribution, lack of medical treatment, and so much more.

Finally, after all year of complaining and crying out for help, the US Marshals agreed with us. They are removing 400 Federal inmates from this hell-hole and transporting them to Pennsylvania, but they are leaving all J6ers here. Isn’t that interesting?

Be that as it may, I am proud to be a part of the good men in this Patriot pod who have shined a light on this torture chamber called the DC jail. My soul is breathing a big sigh of relief for the 400 other souls who will no longer be subjected to this tragic nightmare. 400 of our mostly minority brothers will not have to suffer this brutal and unforgiving torture any more.

Even though we J6ers could not save ourselves, at least we can feel good about being Gods tool to help 400 others. Thank God for the relief given to those desperate souls. No American should ever have to experience this. Please pray for us. And thank God for answering the prayers of 400 people. We are all breathless with gratitude.

Strength and Honor,
Jonathan Mellis #376907
