Dear John,

Here's the truth: Wrongful convictions are a symptom of a broken criminal legal system. At the Innocence Project, we're working to fix that. Here's a look at some of the staggering numbers we've collected over the years: 

Our work is crucial, John. We're not just saving lives, we're actively working to transform the systems that are carrying out these injustices. But our work would not be possible without people like you tirelessly advocating on behalf of wrongfully incarcerated individuals, generating momentum on social media through word of mouth, and donating to our mission. And right now, we're still 64 short of our 200 donor goal.

So please, can we count on you to help us free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone?

Through our work over the years, we've identified basic patterns and common reasons for wrongful conviction, from false confessions, to eyewitness misidentification, to unreliable informants, to the misapplication of forensic science.

That's how innocent people like our clients have ended up spending decades of their lives behind bars for crimes that they did not commit.

We're committed to stopping these injustices. But freeing innocent people and transforming the criminal legal system requires resources. And that's why we're counting on you to give before our end-of-month goal.

John: Will you help us close the gap on our 200 donor goal and support our work to strengthen and advance the innocence movement?

With your support, we can do even more to help bring innocent people home.

Thank you, 

Innocence Project Team
