Marsy's Law for All

What Marsy's Law for All does

Marsy's Law for All is a privately held political advocacy organization (LLC, domiciled in Nevada) that campaigns for constitutional protections for crime victims at the state level. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III following the 1983 murder of his sister Marsalee (Marsy) Ann Nicholas, the organization pursues voter-approved state constitutional amendments that grant victims enforceable rights — including notification of proceedings, presence at hearings, restitution, and protection from the accused — on par with the rights of the accused. The organization's primary outputs are ballot initiatives, legislative campaigns, and voter mobilization; it does not sell commercial products or services. Revenue is generated through donations and supporter engagement rather than traditional pricing models.

The organization operates a multi-channel advocacy platform centered on its website (marsyslaw.us), which provides educational content, victim testimonials, state-specific landing pages for 18 active state campaigns, an online petition tool, and a curated directory of national victim support resources. State-level branded chapters (e.g., Marsy's Law for Georgia, Marsy's Law for Wisconsin, Marsy's Law for Florida) operate under the national umbrella to run state-specific ballot and legislative campaigns. Distribution is community-led, relying on grassroots mobilization, coalition-building with law enforcement associations (e.g., Badger State Sheriff's Association, Dane County Chiefs of Police Association), and partnerships with victim advocacy organizations including the National Crime Victim Law Institute and the National Organization for Victim Advocacy. The organization is also pursuing a federal constitutional amendment through its partnership with NVCAP.

Marsy's Law amendments have been passed in California (2008), Ohio (2017, with 83% voter approval), Wisconsin (2017), Oklahoma (2018), North Dakota (2018), and Florida (2018), and the organization states that 1 in 3 Americans now lives in a state with Marsy's Law in its state constitution. The organization is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is led by Founder and Chairman Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III. No external institutional investors, headcount figures, or revenue disclosures are publicly available.
