Thank you to everyone who raised their voice with us at the Wrongful Conviction Day Rally & March on Saturday, October 2 on Boston Common as we confronted the myths and challenges we face in the criminal legal system, supported ending life without parole sentencing, and lifted up ongoing efforts to overturn convictions.
Guests and guest speakers included exoneree Robert Foxworth, State Representative Liz Miranda, a spoken word performance by Michelle Garcia Fresco, drum beats by Grooversity, and much more. Stops along the march included the State House and the John Adams Courthouse.
“The Fight Continues…” was the theme of this year’s International Wrongful Conviction Day. During our Rally & March, we invited family members, loved ones, lawyers, and anyone else engaged in the fight for freedom with people who are incarcerated, to lift up an image of that person and say their names. This demonstration recommits our community to continue this fight together.
It takes a movement to overturn even one wrongful conviction, not to mention changing the system. Join us in our fight, not just for Wrongful Conviction Day, but every day.
