Andy Williams Jr. emerges as a multifaceted figure— a social entrepreneur, spiritual abolitionist, statesman, and a Presidential Candidate for 2024. Hailing from Aurora, Illinois, his journey unfolds from an unconventional start as he departs from high school, finding himself within the confines of the Illinois Department of Corrections. Undeterred by adversity, Andy's relentless pursuit of self-improvement led him to Lewis University, culminating in a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies.
July 1, 2021, marks a pivotal moment in Andy's commitment to justice. He took a bold stance and filed a claim against the United States and 30 states. This legal action sought an injunction against the widespread practices of low-pay and unpaid prison labor, simultaneously aiming for a judicial declaration challenging the exception for prison labor within the Thirteenth Amendment's prohibition on slavery.
Fast forward to July 3, 2023, when Andy Williams Jr. made a historic announcement, throwing his hat into the ring as a Presidential candidate. Running on the We Are the People Party platform, his message resonates with unity, hope, and a genuine commitment to restoring power to the people.
