John,
From our executive director Christina Swarns, who is one of very few Black women to have ever argued before the Supreme Court, to our first-ever staff attorney Vanessa Potkin, who has helped exonerate and free dozens of wrongfully convicted people, the Innocence Project’s team is made up of strong women leaders who work relentlessly to transform our criminal legal system.
This Women’s History Month, we want to take time to celebrate the incredible women on our team who are advocating for a more just system and fighting to advance the innocence movement every single day.
Learn more about the amazing work they’ve done here at the Innocence Project, and then share this piece with your friends and family online.

To all of the women out there fighting for the innocent and working to build a more just and equitable system: Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
The Innocence Project Team
