Thank you for joining us in 2025!
We had a tremendous night at our sold-out signature fundraiser, Voices of the Innocent, on September 10 at City Winery Boston. Featuring the stories of those most impacted, this powerful event creates a unique opportunity to bring our community together in the fight against injustice and helps sustain our work.
This year, we centered the Dreams of Freedom that persist despite injustice, featuring the stories of those most impacted, including the recent exoneration of our client, Edward Wright. Thanks to your generosity, we are proud to announce that we surpassed our fundraising goal, making more dreams of freedom possible in the years ahead for innocent people and their families.
