It is estimated that there are 10,000 wrongful convictions annually in the U.S.

To date, over 3,400 wrongfully convicted individuals have been officially exonerated and released from prison since 1989. It is an unforgivable tragedy that these innocent individuals have lost years of their lives to a broken system. Even worse, the vast majority of exonerees never receive compensation for the years lost and the federal government and many states don’t have established programs to help exonerees secure housing, access health care or mental health services, and obtain employment as they transition from prison to home, family, community and life.

Wrongful conviction is a fundamental human rights issue.

Freedom should never be taken from the innocent, yet for those wrongfully convicted, years are stolen that can never be reclaimed. Wrongful conviction causes deep and lasting harm, not just for exonerees, but for their families and communities. Your support can help repair that harm. With your partnership, we can continue to provide essential restorative programs and services to exonerees and their families, such as trauma-informed mental health care, social support services navigation, healing retreats and wellness programs, and legislative advocacy and education to prevent future injustice and advance reform.

We invite you to join us at Sip for Justice: Unite for Change, a meaningful fundraising event dedicated to raising awareness and vital support for the wrongfully convicted.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to fund these essential services and to give exonerees the tools, care, and opportunities they need to reclaim their lives. Your sponsorship will help restore lives, rebuild hope, and help ensure that no innocent person is left to navigate the impact of wrongful conviction alone.
