John —
Mother’s Day is all about celebrating the moms and mother figures in our lives. But society often forgets about incarcerated mothers. At the Innocence Project, the majority of women we’ve worked with are mothers.
According to the Prison Policy Initiative, more than 60% of women in prison have children under the age of 18 and nearly 80% of women in jail are mothers. And incarcerated women tend to be single parents or primary caretakers more often than incarcerated men.
We’ve seen firsthand the impact wrongful incarceration has on mothers — whether they’re the ones who are wrongly imprisoned or the ones carrying on the fight for justice on behalf of their loved ones.
That’s why we work day in and day out to free innocent people and help pass policies to stop wrongful convictions from happening in the first place — but we can’t do that work without you.
So today, in honor of Mother’s Day, we’re asking you to please make a one-time donation to help us free innocent people from prison and reunite families again: [[link removed]]
Thank you so much for your support,

Started in 1992 as a legal clinic at Cardozo School of Law, the Innocence Project is now an independent nonprofit, affiliated with Cardozo, that exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice.
