John, did you see Barry and Peter's message from earlier today?
|
This is our 12th year celebrating Giving Tuesday, one of our biggest fundraising opportunities all year. Your support today helps us continue our work to free the innocent and prevent wrongful convictions from happening in the first place.
|
We receive about 10,000 letters a year from folks who are out of options to prove their innocence — and to help them, we need the support of people like you, John.
|
Please don't miss the opportunity to rush a donation for Giving Tuesday and have your gift matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000.
|
Thank you,
|

Today is Giving Tuesday, John — one of our biggest fundraising moments of the entire year. And we rely on the generosity of committed supporters like you to help us free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone.
|
Over the years, we’ve helped to free or exonerate more than 250 wrongfully convicted people, pass 250 transformative state laws and federal reforms, and grow the innocence movement to nearly 5 million people — and that’s no small feat, John.
|
But none of this would be possible without supporters like you. For that, we’re extremely grateful. As the holiday season continues, we’re counting on you to step up once again on one of our most critical days of the year.
|
The work we do every day requires immense resources — from cutting-edge DNA testing to the cost of attorneys, paralegals, investigators, social workers, and all the other personnel who work together to free our clients. John, we can’t do it alone. And that’s why we’re personally asking:
|
Will you make a gift right now to help us continue our work to free innocent people and prevent wrongful convictions? Your donation will help us reach our critical $25,000 Giving Tuesday match goal.
