Hear From Our Innocence Advocates
"I give to the Innocence Project every month because that innocent man or woman behind bars could be me, a friend or a family member. I would want to know that there are people on the outside fighting for my freedom."
"Injustice never takes a day off, and it’s important for a nonprofit to have a steady, predictable stream of income, to keep the lights on and the coffee flowing. I don’t see the need for Innocence Project’s services evaporating anytime soon."
"After watching the Netflix series The Innocence Files and learning about the work that the Innocence Project was doing, I felt compelled to donate monthly. Our criminal justice system is by no means perfect and those who are working to fix the injustices it creates deserve our support."
"I've always had a sense that there is something wrong with the criminal justice system, and for years I've tried to find a way to do something about it. But as an average person, my efforts seemed futile—until I found the Innocence Project. It feels good to be a part of a solution to a very big problem."
"I donate to help keep the fight alive and give innocent people a chance to return to their families. I can only hope one day we will be able to release all the wrongfully convicted men and women."
