Discovering Justice Honors NEIP with 2022 Champion of Justice Award
More than 250 supporters gathered at the Moakley U.S. Courthouse to celebrate Discovering Justice’s 2022 Annual Gala: Connections and Community. Introduced by acting U.S. District Attorney Joshua Levy, Discovering Justice honored the New England Innocence Project with this year’s Champion of Justice award. We’re very grateful and humbled to be honored with this award and to be a part of such a special evening.
NEIP Executive Director, Radha Natarajan and Sean Ellis, Director of the Exoneree Network, delivered passionate talks about their work to free wrongfully convicted people from prison and help them rebuild in freedom. We appreciate all that Discovering Justice does to provide students and community members with civic education programs, helping them to explore the ideals of justice and engage in our democracy.
NEIP’s Executive Director, Radha Natarajan (pictured second from left), and Sean Ellis (pictured second from right), Director of the Exoneree Network, accepted the award. The event was attended by members of this community, including exonerees Robert Foxworth, James Watson, Dennis Maher, Ray Champagne, and more.
At the event, Discovering Justice played our “What Does Freedom Mean?” video and we wanted to share that video again here for folks who haven’t had a chance to view it, or would like to see it again.
