This Black History Month, we reflect on a core truth of collective struggle: what impacts one of us impacts all of us.

Please join us for our annual storytelling event and fundraiser, Voices of the Innocent, on September 17 at City Winery Boston!

We’re looking for our next Development Director! Are you committed to fighting injustice and have a community-centric fundraising approach to development? Then, please join us! Applications are preferred by February 12, 2026.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our annual toy drive! We were able to make the holidays a little brighter for 93 Boston-area families, including 222 children impacted by long-term incarceration and wrongful convictions.

When Mimi Olivier messaged me online and told me her husband, Edward G. Wright, was serving life in prison for a crime he did not commit, I thought I was the victim of a phishing attack. I did not know then that this simple e-mail exchange would ignite a close friendship with Mr. Wright, or “Eddie”: a man with wildly different life circumstances from mine. And I certainly did not know that I would witness the day he would finally walk free.

There has been so much to celebrate lately — three exonerations and another wrongful murder conviction overturned in just the last few months. Each case is a powerful reminder of why we fight every day for people who have been wrongfully convicted, and we are proud to have supported several of these cases through amicus work — an essential part of our mission.

We are excited to share that the Exoneree Network has launched a new partnership with Second Chance Cars, Inc., a Massachusetts-based nonprofit. Thanks to this collaboration, our community members will have the opportunity to obtain an affordable used car, thereby easing their access to employment and increasing their earnings.
