Misconduct, Lies, & Systemic Injustice:
Lessons Learned from the Exoneration of Edward G. Wright
1:00 - 2:30 p.m. — March & Rally (meet on the State House steps)
On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, we will be hosting a press conference at the Massachusetts State House to share the lessons learned from Massachusetts’ most recent exoneration, followed by a march and rally to City Hall in commemoration of Wrongful Conviction Day, an international day of awareness dedicated to highlighting the causes, remedies, and emotional tolls of wrongful conviction.
During the march and rally, we will raise our voices together against injustice in honor of loved ones who are still incarcerated. Please join us!
Join the Running for Innocence Team:
November 2 | Lexington, MA
Please join us for the 11th anniversary of the Running for Innocence team’s participation in the Genesis HR Battlegreen 5K/10K on Sunday, November 2, 2025. As in years past, this event offers several great options for runners and non-runners of all ages. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to spend time with our Exoneree Network team members, who inspire us every year to continue the important work of fighting wrongful convictions.
We’re aiming to raise $11,000 from registration fees and donations for the New England Innocence Project‘s Running for Innocence Fund, which helps all three innocence organizations in Massachusetts pay for experts and investigators needed to free innocent men and women behind bars for crimes they didn’t commit.
Jammin' for Justice
October 30 | 6 - 9 p.m.
In the fifth annual Jammin’ for Justice event, a very special line-up of local musicians joins forces to support the work of the Exoneree Network and the Running for Innocence Fund, and to ensure that another inspiring group of people freed from Massachusetts prisons for crimes they did not commit will have the opportunity to attend the 2026 Innocence Network Conference in Chicago.
