October 2, 2021 is the 8th Annual Wrongful Conviction Day—a day to raise awareness of the causes and remedies of wrongful conviction and to recognize the impacts on innocent people and their families. Wrongful Conviction Day is an effort of the Innocence Network an affiliation of 68 organizations dedicated to providing free legal and investigative services to innocent people, working to redress the causes of wrongful convictions, and supporting the exonerated once they are freed.

This year’s theme is the fight continues, and we are considering the many fights that are ongoing despite the many victories that we celebrate. The fight continues for the thousands who remain wrongfully incarcerated, for exonerees who face new challenges upon their release, and for those working to prevent the multitude of injustices that contribute to wrongful convictions.

Join the fight!
