The Political Prisoner podcast, presented by Look Ahead America, offers personal accounts and commentary on the events that took place at our nation's Capitol on January 6.

Accompanied by his cousin, he arrived after the chaos had already begun and was swept up in a crowd. Separated from his cousin and pushed forward, he unknowingly entered the Capitol through a window, immediately realized what had happened, and turnedaround to leave. A week later, the FBI showed up at his home, and despite a documented address change, ananti-terrorism unit raided his in-laws’ home in Tennessee—where he had moved with his family—accusing him of being on the run. He was questioned and charged, despite never lingering in the building. His story highlights the personal cost many have endured in the wake of January 6th.To learn more about and support Andrew’s ministry, visitwww.Lost2FoundMinistries.com.If you are a J6er looking for work or an employer willing tohire a member of the J6 community, visit https://LookAheadAmerica.org/jobsforj6/and complete the intake form to be added to our employment directory.  To support Look Ahead America, visit https://LookAheadAmerica.org/donate.
