Jammin’ for Justice
October 19 | 6 - 9 p.m.
The Burren, Somerville
In this third annual Jammin’ for Justice event, a very special line-up of local musicians joins forces to honor the memory of Massachusetts exoneree Ray Champagne and to benefit the work of the Exoneree Network, which Ray co-founded with fellow exonerees Sean Ellis and Victor Rosario. Specifically, concert proceeds will help ensure newly freed and exonerated people will have the opportunity to attend the 2024 Innocence Network Conference where this community can come together to heal and connect after the trauma of long-term incarceration.
Running for Innocence:
Lexington Battlegreen 5K/10K
November 5
On November 5, our team will return to the Lexington Battlegreen 5K/10K with the goal of raising $10,000. This event offers options for runners and non-runners of all ages and is a wonderful opportunity to meet and welcome our exoneree team members, all of whom inspire us to continue this important work. Funds raised will help pay for investigators and experts to free innocent people incarcerated for crimes they did not commit and will enable recent exonerees to attend the 2024 Innocence Network conference in New Orleans.
Sweeney Todd:
October 13 — November 5 (Talk Back, Oct. 29)
Arrow Street Arts, Cambridge
