In this episode I am talking to Benito who I met in a Clubhouse room. He had brushed around some of his story and I picked up on it and thought he would be a good guest for the show. I had to switch SD cards around 46 minutes and lost the file when I went to download it. So this is going to be part 1 and I will have Benito back to finish the conversation down the road.
*
Here is a little bit about Benito:
*
I grew up in a gang life, I was a drug dealer a womanizer my brother was shot and killed in front of me my mother was shot and killed by my dealer among other things loosing my wife and daughter finding out my daughter wasn't my biological kid. The hardest thing in my life was loosing my daughter I became discouraged and lonely so I masked it all in drugs and alcohol. until God came into my life and that's what started the hardest journey in my life. I'm not where I'd like to be but I thank God that I'm not where I use to be. So I will continue my journey and that's why I'm doing what I'm doing now.

Amber is also a freedom of choice activist. I met Amber when I started to seek out a community that felt the way that I did about some of the things we are facing as residents of California. I was sent a few invites to Telegram groups in my local area from my folks over on Clubhouse.
*
I ended up going to a meet up at a pizza place and got to know some of the people in the group. I decided to have Amber on the show to talk about what motivated her to want to help create this community. As we are being squeezed to concede to these death shot mandates more resistance communities are popping up all over the place.
*
Here is a little bit about Amber:
*
I'm an East Bay Area real estate agent who is the co-organizer of a medical freedom group called East Bay Freedom Lovers on Telegram. I haven't really ever been involved in activism like this before, but the Covid pandemic opened my eyes to a lot of corruption in our government. After keeping quiet for a solid year, I decided it was time to speak up against what's happening.

What made you want to be a guest on the "Nowhere To Go But Up Podcast?
*
I was recommended by James Saenz, after I was interviewed by him on his podcast, "From The Dust".
*
I want to get my story out there, the work that I do at my non-profit organization, "The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice", which frees wrongfully convicted people and works for policy changes aimed at preventing wrongful conviction in the first place. We have freed 8 people, and helped pass 7 laws.
*
I also wanted to be able to help get the word out about the documentary short about me, entitled, "Conviction", which is currently making the rounds in film festivals, having gotten into 10 of them.
*
Here is my story: I spent 16 years in prison-from age 17-32- before DNA testing exonerated me of murder and rape. Upon my release, I have become an advocate whose life is dedicated to freeing people who have been wrongfully convicted as I was, along with pursuing legislative changes aimed at preventing those injustices in the first place. I started a non-profit organization, The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, using some of the money that I won as compensation for what happened to me, and we have been able to free 7 people and help pass 3 laws. As an advisory board member of a coalition group called It Could Happen To You, we were able to help pass 3 additional laws and we now have chapters in 2 other states. Lastly, I serve on the Global Advisory Council of Restorative Justice International. Since my release, I have become a recognized advocate, with a body of work consisting of delivering 200 presentation, authoring more than 200 articles, doing an uncountable number of media interviews, and meeting with many elected officials. I obtained a BA, a Masters Degree, and in May of 2019 I graduated law school and passed the bar exam, in pursuit of my dream of exonerating others as an attorney.

Here is a short 1 minute 31 second video of my story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXtsdpCmNb8
