Justice for Annie

My name is Harold, and I’m asking for help for my wife, Annie G.

Annie is a transgender woman and a professional truck driver with 35 years of experience. Her life was forever changed after she was wrongfully convicted in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, despite evidence showing she was defending her own life.

Annie was violently attacked and nearly strangled. We have photographs showing fingerprints around her neck, proof she was fighting to survive. Even so, she was prosecuted by a district attorney who was campaigning for re-election and later for a judgeship, publicly stating he would put an end to transgender people in CrawfordCounty. Annie believes she was made an example of during that campaign.

When a new prosecutor took over, Annie was told it could take up to four years just to prepare for trial. She was terrified. Against her better judgment, and under pressure, she pled no contest. That plea led to a conviction, prison time, and parole.

Today, Annie is labeled a convicted felon. She cannot find steady work, despite decades as a truck driver. We are struggling to rebuild our lives while pursuing justice.

Funds raised will help cover:

Legal fees

Transportation and lodging

Expenses for Annie to speak publicly and raise awareness about what she and other transgender people face in the justice system

Annie wants to share her story so no one else has to go through this. Any donation or share helps us move closer to justice, healing, and a future with dignity.

Thank you for standing with us.
