We’ve seen overwhelming support over the last month in response to the national reckoning around police violence and racism and in honor of the Black Lives Matter movement. Some donated in honor of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and all Black lives taken by police. Others were inspired by exonerees like Levon Brooks and the Exonerated Five. We’re humbled by all of the people who’ve joined the fight to bring justice to those wrongfully convicted. We wanted to put together a page that shines a light on all of the reasons people are joining this work — you can take a look at it here.
