Seven clients freed from the burden of wrongful conviction, and one who narrowly escaped execution. 21 policies won in 17 states. And 132,000 people taking action to stop injustice.
This is what you helped make possible by being part of the Innocence Project community in 2019. We couldn’t do it without you and, most importantly, without the bravery of our clients who lead the way in pushing for justice against the odds, no matter what it takes.
Every Innocence Project client has a unique story of resilience against a system stacked against them. We’re grateful to be a part of their community — and yours.
To each of you who called lawmakers, tweeted your support, donated, and talked to your friends about this work, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
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. www.innocenceproject.org
