Final stretch for 2019
John,
When we started the Innocence Project, we had a single goal: to use the promise of DNA technology to achieve justice for the wrongfully convicted. Almost three decades later, the organization has helped exonerate more than 200 people and secured reforms nationwide that have brought millions of people under the protection of laws designed to identify, rectify and prevent wrongful conviction.
Our team has accomplished so much, but in the pursuit of justice, there is always more work to be done — and we need you to join us in 2020.

Our staff attorneys are hard at work fighting on behalf of their clients — seeking DNA testing that could prove innocence, fighting for a path back into court and more. Meanwhile, our policy team is building support for our legislative agenda to reduce the risk of wrongful conviction and assure a measure of justice for the exonerated.
All these years later, it means so much to know that this team continues to grow.
Thanks for being part of it,
Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck
Innocence Project Co-Founders and Special Counsel
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
