The music of Miss Lauryn Hill has had an enormous effect on art in the United States and the world. Her contribution to American culture is immeasurable. She is a national treasure.
Lauryn Hill's imprisonment marks the end of an enormous ordeal throughout which she was the victim of some of our society's most destructive corporate forces. Her sentence is an affront to young, successful women everywhere in our culture. It is an attack on artistic integrity. It is a victory for exploitative and greedy entrepreneurial practices, and a defeat for the vision of an exceptional individual. It is a national embarrassment that should be remedied immediately.
Sign this petition to request that the Obama administration grant Miss Lauryn Hill an immediate presidential pardon.
