John ,
Today is Wrongful Conviction Day — a day in which we highlight the causes and remedies of wrongful conviction and also recognize the tremendous personal, social, and emotional toll it takes on the innocent and their loved ones.
This year’s theme is collective impact, and it’s all about examining the ways that injustice is experienced, fought, and repaired in communities. Every day, people across the world are wrongly convicted and it doesn’t just affect them — it impacts everyone in their lives.
Each year, our friends and partners in the Innocence Network promote this day to help raise awareness about wrongful convictions and invite new people to join this movement.
Here are three ways you can show your support over the next few days:
* Innocence Network organizations across the country work to exonerate the innocent and change the system — and they need your support. Find out how you can connect with your local Network organization to donate or volunteer: [[link removed]]
* Interested in learning more about the issue of wrongful conviction in the U.S. and around the world? Find and attend a Wrongful Conviction Day event near you: [[link removed]]
* In honor of the Ninth Annual International Wrongful Conviction Day, the Innocence Network is hosting a full-day of free online programming tomorrow, starting at 9 a.m. ET, featuring experts, advocates, and directly impacted people. Be sure to register and tune in tomorrow: [[link removed]]
Thank you so much for your support,

The Innocence Project works to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone. Founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, the organization is now an independent nonprofit. Our work is guided by science and grounded in antiracism.
