Civil Litigation

Sued for Doing Their Civic Duty

Karen Read has sued Brian Albert, Nicole Albert, Jennifer McCabe, Matthew McCabe, and Brian Higgins - witnesses from her criminal case. This lawsuit is an attempt to punish citizens for cooperating with law enforcement and testifying under oath. After fully cooperating, they now face the financial burden of defending themselves.


Doing your civic duty should never mean putting your family’s financial future on the line.


Defending a federal lawsuit is costly - even when it's a lawsuit that should never have been brought and an adverse judgment could carry devastating financial consequences.


Explore the original complaint, subsequent motions, court filings, and rulings as the case progresses.

• Witnesses who come forward

• Good people who simply do the right thing

...are being harassed, defamed, threatened, and pressured into silence.

Imagine stepping forward, believing justice will protect you — only to find yourself fighting for your peace, your privacy, and your safety.

Why We Formed This Movement

This mission began during one of Massachusetts' most publicized trials, when witnesses faced relentless harassment simply for cooperating with investigators.

Their ordeal exposed a troubling reality: across the nation, social media has amplified intimidation and defamation tactics and weaponized them against witnesses to undermine their credibility and distort the truth. These tactics have turned public opinion into a weapon against those who have the courage to speak the truth.

Our Vision

At this time we are not currently a foundation or charitable organization, though as we continue this work, our long-term goal is to establish a foundation dedicated to rebuilding faith in justice and supporting the people who work every day to keep the system honest.

This mission will guide the creation of that foundation and will remain at the heart of everything we do.

Standing with the Alberts, McCabes & Higgins Families

Standing with the Alberts, McCabes & Higgins Families

Their fight against harassment and defamation continues. So can your support.

Targeted Attacks Since April 2023

Since April 2023, the Alberts, McCabes, and Higgins families have faced ongoing personal and professional attacks, including public harassment, threats, and the spread of misinformation.

False Narratives

Misinformation and allegations surrounding the proceedings have contributed to the public targeting of witnesses and their families.

Trust In The Justice System

The witnesses cooperated with law enforcement, provided statements, and testified before grand juries and during two criminal trials.

Ongoing Harassment

Witnesses and their families continue to face public harassment, threats, and personal attacks, while others fear professional or personal retaliation.

Silence Is No Longer an Option

For years, these families remained largely silent out of respect for the judicial process. That silence offered little protection, and they are now speaking out to defend their reputations and seek accountability.

Standing Together for Justice

Contributions help these families obtain the legal resources needed to challenge alleged defamation, pursue accountability, and continue their fight for truth and justice for John O'Keefe.

Their Silence Didn't Protect Them. Your Support Can Help.

For years, these families placed their trust in the justice system. They cooperated with investigators, testified under oath, and endured relentless public scrutiny. Through it all, they remained largely silent, believing the truth would ultimately speak for itself.


But the harassment didn't stop. The threats didn't stop. And the damage to their families didn't simply disappear when the trials ended. For these families, the consequences have continued long after the courtroom doors closed.


Today, these families are standing up for their reputations, their dignity, and the accountability they deserve. After everything they have endured, they should not have to carry the financial and emotional burden of that fight alone.

Your support reminds them that they are not standing alone.
