John,

Over the last 30 years, the Innocence Project team has worked to free more than 240 people who’ve spent a collective 3,754 years wrongfully imprisoned.

Our clients and staff hold a wealth of knowledge about the injustices and intricacies of our criminal legal system, and we believe so many people could benefit from hearing their stories.

That’s why we have a robust Speakers Bureau — to connect wrongful conviction experts with schools, colleges, companies, and organizations around the world to speak about their experiences and provide insight on how to prevent future injustices. Please take a moment right now to learn more about the program and even book a speaker for your school or event today.

Our team of inspiring speakers includes people who were incarcerated for crimes they did not commit and Innocence Project staff members, each of whom works to correct wrongful convictions and prevent future injustices.

You could hear from folks like Korey Wise, a member of the Exonerated Five, who was just 16 years old when police coerced him into falsely confessing to the brutal attack of a jogger in Central Park. Or Malcolm Alexander who, due to an ineffective lawyer and flawed eyewitness identification procedure, spent 38 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Or Vanessa Potkin, the Innocence Project’s Director of Special Litigation and its first staff attorney, who has represented and exonerated over 30 innocent people from all over the country.

This could be a huge learning opportunity for you, your organization, or your community. So please, learn more about the Innocence Project Speakers Bureau today, and book a speaker for your future events.
