What Happened to Jonny?

And what can you do about it?

You've just watched Jonny McCoy's powerful testimony — a firsthand account of what happens when the fundamental Principle of Human Respect is violated.

Jonny’s story was produced by Respect America. His experience isn’t just moving — it’s revealing.

Because when people are coerced, experience violence, or are stolen from through force or fraud, you can see the results: trust erodes, suffering increases, and our communities fracture. Plain and simple, their happiness decreases. Every time.

But there's good news, too: when people act with Human Respect, the opposite happens. Happiness rises. Harmony grows. Prosperity becomes possible. People are happier!

Here’s our mission:

Respect America exists to "show, then tell."

We share real stories — like Jonny’s — so you can see violations of Human Respect clearly.

Then we explain why they happened — and how to stop them from happening again.
