Teaming up with Ivanka Trump‘s husband, Jared Kushner, Kim campaigned to free Johnson.

As The Shade Room previously reported, Donald Trump ultimately granted Kim’s request after meeting with her in mid-2018, and Johnson went on to advocate for prison reform.

So grateful to @realDonaldTrump, Jared Kushner & to everyone who has showed compassion & contributed countless hours to this important moment for Ms. Alice Marie Johnson. Her commutation is inspirational & gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance.

Of course, Kim’s also helped many other people earn a chance at freedom. CNN reports that she helped free 17 inmates in only 90 days by providing financial support.

These inmates were serving life sentences for non-violent, first-time drug offenses, and Kim “provided financial support to cover legal fees so that [the attorneys] can travel the country.”

In the ongoing Rodney Reed case, Kim used her Twitter account to call for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott not to execute the inmate.

PLEASE @GovAbbott How can you execute a man when since his trial, substantial evidence that would exonerate Rodney Reed has come forward and even implicates the other person of interest. I URGE YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

She cited “substantial evidence that would exonerate Rodney,” who’s been on death row since 1998.

Similarly, Kim headed to Columbus, Ohio, to advocate on behalf of Kevin Keith, who maintains his innocence in the face of a 1994 murder conviction.

According to The Columbus Dispatch, Kim proclaimed, “There was so much wrong with justice in this particular case. I wanted to really show people that might not have a law degree that might not understand how messed up our justice system really is.”

Following the massacre in Uvalde, Texas, Kim called on authorities to temporarily release an incarcerated father—Eli Torres—so he could attend his late daughter’s funeral.

Kim took to Instagram and asked the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to “grant Eli Torres temporary release so that he can say his last goodbye to his baby girl.”

While Torres ultimately lost his bid, this instance nonetheless shows Kim utilizing her voice and platform to try and fight for justice.

Taking it back to Alice Marie Johnson, she recommended three inmates who deserved a second chance, and Kim helped the women earn their freedom.

According to ABC24 News, Judith Negron, Crystal Munoz, and Tynice Nichole Hall were all pardoned by Trump in 2020.

Today Alice, Crystal, Judith, Tynice and I, along with the @cut_50 team will be at the White House bringing light to these women and discuss more change that our justice system desperately needs!

Finally, we have to give Kimmy a shoutout for passing the First-Year Law Students’ Examination—aka the “baby bar.”

This accomplishment followed Kim failing the exam two times. However, she was undeterred and passed the exam in late 2021, and she acknowledged the feat with a lengthy Instagram caption.
