We have some great news from Philadelphia, John! An innocent man who spent nearly three decades in jail is now free thanks to District Attorney Larry Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit!

This is why we do this work together! Please READ and SHARE this article widely so that we can spread the good news about Larry’s important work.

Eddie Ramirez was wrongfully imprisoned for 27 years for a murder that he didn’t commit. In 1993, he was convicted based on shaky eyewitness testimony and sentenced to life in prison.

There was literally NO physical evidence.

Ramirez’s friends were questioned with no parent or attorney present and were threatened and coerced into implicating him. Many have recanted their testimonies since.

This was a common practice in Philadelphia in the 1990s — detectives coercing false confessions and eyewitness testimony in order to lock innocent Black and brown people in jail.

It’s why we worked so hard to elect Larry Krasner in 2017 and re-elect him in 2021. He is working to right the wrongs of an unjust and racist legal system.

Since District Attorney Larry Krasner took office in 2018, his Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU) in Philadelphia has exonerated more than 35 wrongfully convicted people. These individuals collectively spent over 675 years in prison.

This is a powerful reminder of why we fight to elect civil rights-minded DAs all across this country to free innocent people. It's about rectifying the wrongs and rebuilding lives.

It's crucial that we spread the word about these victories. Please share the article with everyone in your network who cares about transforming the unjust and racist system.

Let's keep fighting for justice together,
