Supporting the Salinas Family

Defend Our Own: Stand with Officer Salinas

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your prayers, kindness, and unwavering support for the Salinas family. Right now, they need us more than ever.
Anyone who knows Dante knows the kind of man he is—gracious, selfless, and driven by faith. As a personal trainer and coach, he has dedicated his life to helping others become stronger and healthier, never asking for anything in return. Now, he is in the fight of his life and needs our help.
A Decorated Officer Let Down by the Justice System
Dante has always answered the call of duty with integrity and courage. Throughout his service with the Waukegan Police Department, he received multiple awards for bravery and dedication to the people of Waukegan. He put his life on the line countless times to protect his fellow officers and his community, and his record speaks for itself.
Yet, despite his unwavering commitment, the City of Waukegan and the Waukegan Police Department terminated his employment without an investigation, denying him his lawful rights to due process. Equally devastating, the very organization made up of officers like Dante has been unable to support him as he would support his fellow officers—many are afraid to speak out due to political pressures and fear of retaliation.
A Battle No Officer Should Face Alone
Dante is now facing unjust legal challenges for doing what any reasonable officer and God-fearing man would do—protecting a fellow officer in need. For five years, he and his family have endured immense emotional, spiritual, and financial strain. The unknown has been a constant shadow, threatening to break even the strongest among us. Yet, Dante stands firm, leaning on his faith and the support of those who believe in truth and justice.
The Truth Will Set Him Free
As John 8:31-32 says, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." With the right legal defense and expert testimony, we can bring that truth to light. But justice comes at a cost—one that no family should have to bear alone.
How You Can Help
We need to lift the financial burden from Dante and his family so they can focus on what truly matters—fighting for his freedom. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.
💙 Donate $5 – Every small gift adds up! Show your support today.
💙 Donate $10 – Help cover legal expenses and give Dante a fighting chance.
💙 Donate $20 – Make an even greater impact in securing the expert defense he needs.
💙 Give a Custom Amount – Any amount you give will bring Dante one step closer to justice.
All donations go directly into a trust account managed by Dante’s legal team and will be used solely for his defense.
This is our chance to stand beside a man who has always stood for others. If Dante has ever made a difference in your life, or if you believe in supporting those who put their lives on the line for others, now is the time to act.
Donate today. Share his story. Stand for justice.

Thank you for your generosity, and may God bless you for your kindness.
