Dear John,

This year, the holiday season is bittersweet for us at the Fully Informed Jury Association. As we celebrate time with loved ones, we also mourn the loss of our dear friend and executive director Kirsten Tynan. Today would have been her 52nd birthday. She was the heart and soul of this organization for well over a decade. A one-woman army, she gave her blood, sweat, and tears for the cause of justice both night and day. Before she passed, she made me swear that FIJA would not disappear. I am doing my best to keep things going until we find someone to fill her shoes - a VERY tall order. And this is where YOU come in.

Kirsten C. Tynan

December 21, 1972 ~ March 5, 2024

This appeal is particularly urgent this year. We need additional funds to attract a top-level talent who can step into Kirsten’s position and fully administer the organization. Kirsten did this for very lean compensation, making great sacrifice for the health of FIJA. We need additional funds to bring compensation up to a point where we can persuade someone to put in the kind of effort that Kirsten so willingly gave. That is why I am asking you to help us meet today's goal of $5200 on her birthday. 

In these final days of 2024, I want to thank you for your support of fully informed juries for all. Whether you have donated, shared FIJA's online resources with others, handed out FIJA literature with others, or created fully informed jurors in some other way this year, THANK YOU!

As the year comes to a close, we are inching our way to the 2024 annual fundraising goal of just $60,000. John, can you help close the gap to make 100% of our goal?

Your donation of $200, $150, $50, $25 or any other amount will help ensure that government cannot conceal from jurors their full authority and responsibility in delivering just verdicts—including by jury nullification when necessary.

Your gift will create more fully informed jurors in 2025 through educational outreach such as:

continuing our search to find a top level talent to become our new executive director,

printing FIJA’s brand new, full-color brochure on jury nullification and the First Amendment (You’ll be among the first to receive one. Release date TBD),

celebrating Lysander Spooner’s birthday in January with an online discussion of his jury-related works,

hosting the 4th online State of the American Jury System presentation in February,

editing and publishing an e-book highlighting the works of Lysander Spooner on or related to jury rights issues, 

developing a multi-part email series on jury nullification that will be sent to all new subscribers to the FIJA newsletter as an introductory class on jury nullification when they sign up, 

continuing to expand and update FIJA.org—the world's premier resource for jury nullification education and related information—and keep it available to the public at no charge,

supporting volunteers creating fully informed jurors at courthouses, conferences, and other events with educational materials, booth fees, meal or coffee stipends, etc. 

and more!

Don't miss your chance to make an impact!

We are so grateful for you, John, and can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together in 2025! This year was a bit of a setback for the organization, but we have faith that together we can move forward and help bring more liberty and justice to our world. And I can think of no better way to honor our dear friend and advocate Kirsten Tynan. Please join me in donating towards today's goal of $5200 in Kirsten's memory.

For Liberty, Justice, and Peace in Our Lifetimes,

Robert Anthony Peters

Board Chairman

Fully Informed Jury Association

P.S. All donations received strictly go to vital expenses of FIJA as well as building our war chest for the future, including compensation for a new executive director. Neither I, nor any of the board members or volunteers receive any compensation for time spent on continuing operations and building the organization. Every penny you donate goes straight to the efforts of educationg jurors. Thank you for your support!
