John,

It’s spring in New York, and we at the Innocence Project are excited to share with you our bright and beautiful, refreshed and redesigned website.

Our website is the linchpin of our digital ecosystem and a rich platform on which to tell powerful stories of our work and impact. It’s where you come to learn more about our work, sign petitions, make donations, request representation, and engage with this community.

Over the years, we have shared the bold and inspiring stories of our clients and their families, including Termaine Hicks, Rosa Jimenez, Herman Williams, Michelle Murphy, and countless others. 

We helped explain why bail reform is so important in creating fair and equitable systems of justice; why bite marks aren’t credible science; how police misconduct leads to wrongful convictions; and how racism continues to pervade every level of the criminal legal system, including in the implementation of the death penalty.

And we’ve asked you to take action — to sign petitions, call legislators, donate to campaigns, and join protests to save the lives of people facing execution, like Rodney Reed and Pervis Payne.

This past year we launched a new blueprint for our future, and, as part of that, we’ve been working to restructure and revitalize our website so that everything — our work, the issues that drive wrongful convictions, our completed cases, the stories of our clients, and our campaigns — is easy to find and engage with. We’ve organized our content around the three foundational pillars of our work: Restoring Freedom, Transforming Systems, and Advancing the Movement. We’ve also added more information about our governance and workplace culture so you can better understand the values that drive us and inform our work every day.

We hope you’ll take a moment to browse the site, share it with your friends, and let us know what you like and what we can do better.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement — we couldn’t do any of this work without you.
