John,

I spent 15 years behind bars for a brutal crime I had nothing to do with. If it wasn't for DNA testing and the Innocence Project, I wouldn't be here to share my story with you. In fact, I was sentenced to 210 years in prison and I would never have seen freedom again.

I’m forever indebted to the Innocence Project for fighting for my freedom. But I'm also deeply grateful to the thousands of people who make the Innocence Project possible with their support. 

Will you join these heroes by helping to free the next innocent person? Please make a gift today — it could change the life of another innocent person.

As a member of the Innocence Project Board of Directors, I hear about the hundreds of clients the team is fighting for every day to prove their innocence. I hear about how the policy team is working in our state legislatures to help reveal and prevent wrongful convictions and make the system more fair and just. And you make it possible—by listening, by sharing and by supporting our work. 

So if you haven't chipped in yet, please consider making a donation today. I’m living proof that the Innocence Project changes lives and I wouldn’t be here today without your support.

Will you help set the next person free?

Thank you for standing up for the innocent,
