John,

The last 12 months have been big for us at the Innocence Project. We launched a brand new website to bring you closer to our work, we worked alongside the Innocence Network and other allies to pass more than a dozen policies across the country, and we helped exonerate six innocent people — people like Tyrone Day in Texas, Ian Schweitzer in Hawaii, and Norberto Peets in New York.

Each of them spent way too many years behind bars. Tyrone first wrote to the Innocence Project back in 2000 asking for our help, making him one of our longest-standing clients. After spending 33 years wrongly convicted, he was finally exonerated in May. Ian spent 35 years wrongfully incarcerated, and one of the first things he did to celebrate his release was jump in the ocean, because that’s what true freedom meant to him. After 26 years, Norberto Peets was finally exonerated and reunited with his children who were just toddlers when he was incarcerated.

All of this happened in the last 12 months, and we want to do even more over the next year — but we can’t do it without your support.

Today is the final day of Fiscal Year 2023, so before tonight’s midnight deadline, make a donation to help fund our work for the next 12 months. All contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000, so you’ll double your impact. [[link removed]]

I am deeply grateful for your support, advocacy, and commitment to changing our criminal legal system for the better — without this community, our work would not be possible.

Thank you so much for your support,

Bhavan Sodhi
Chief Program Officer

The Innocence Project works to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone. Founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, the organization is now an independent nonprofit. Our work is guided by science and grounded in anti-racism.
