The Karis Project: Restoring Constitutional Accountability Through Peaceful Civic Action.

Our Mission

“Healing families through restoration and obtaining justice through the use of engineering sciences and conducting them in a manner that serves the public interest.”

This mission reflects The Karis Project’s commitment to restoring families, protecting children, preserving evidence, and pursuing justice through lawful, peaceful, and evidence-based action. It brings together survivor advocacy, engineering analysis, constitutional accountability, and public education in service of the public interest.

Constitutional Accountability

We work to ensure that government institutions remain answerable to the Constitution and to the laws they are sworn to uphold. Through lawful means, including the First Amendment right to petition for redress of grievances, The Karis Project helps citizens call public power back to its proper purpose: serving the people.

Public Education

We believe people are stronger when they understand their rights, how government is structured, and how lawful civic action works. The Karis Project equips citizens with knowledge, context, and practical pathways for participation, oversight, and accountability.

Family Preservation

Families should not be broken by systems that were created to protect them. The Karis Project advocates for reform in family courts, child welfare systems, and related government institutions so that children are protected, parents are heard, and families have a fair path toward restoration.

Combating Human Trafficking

Human trafficking thrives when warning signs are ignored and institutions fail to act. The Karis Project works to expose failures that enable child and human trafficking, while advocating for meaningful protections that help prevent exploitation, protect victims, and demand accountability from the systems entrusted with public safety.

The Petition for Redress of Grievances is not merely a historical idea. It is an applied example of how ordinary citizens can organize documented concerns, present them to representatives, and request oversight, investigation, and legislative review through mechanisms established by the Founders.

About the Petition

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. This right is among the most fundamental protections within the American constitutional system, providing citizens with a lawful means of requesting that government officials investigate concerns, address grievances, and consider appropriate corrective action.

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, The Karis Project recognizes the historic significance of petitioning government for redress. In 1776, 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence, placing before the world the causes that compelled the American colonies to seek separation from tyranny.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

“all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

“In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.”

In that same constitutional tradition, on March 13, 2026, Dale J. Richardson, on behalf of DSR Karis North Consulting Inc. and the inhabitants of the United States of America, authored and signed the historic Petition for Redress of Grievances together with four original signatories: Kaysha Richardson, Adrienna DiCioccio, Colleen Smith, and Mitch Snow. The petition was subsequently delivered by original signatory Adrienna DiCioccio to Representative Anna Paulina Luna in Washington, D.C., during the 119th Congress of the United States.

Since its delivery, the petition has continued to receive public support. Twenty additional citizens have appended their signatures, bringing the current total to twenty-five signatories.

The petition documents alleged constitutional violations, institutional failures, and matters of significant public concern supported by documentary evidence, witness testimony, expert analysis, engineering analysis, and public records research. It respectfully requests that Congress undertake appropriate oversight, investigation, and legislative action consistent with its constitutional responsibilities.

The petition further respectfully demands that Congress or the President initiate the powers under Article IV, Section 4 in aid of a comprehensive investigation into crimes that the petitioners contend threaten the continued preservation of a republican form of government. Among the matters presented for investigation are allegations of judicial branch corruption, systemic malfeasance and gross negligence by government agencies, crimes related to the COVID-19 response, allegations of cruel and unusual punishment, torture, and human and child trafficking in violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture, the Eighth Amendment, and the Thirteenth Amendment, together with allegations that government agencies withheld critical information that could have materially affected the declaration of a national emergency under the National Emergencies Act.

The petition requests that Congress and the President investigate the evidence presented, determine the facts, and take such legislative, executive, or other lawful actions as may be warranted to preserve the Constitution, uphold the rule of law, protect the rights of the people, and maintain the republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution.

The First Amendment

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— United States Constitution, Amendment I
