Struck by the synchronicity of our timeline: 1/2 posts about Wrongful Conviction Day, 1/2 posts about ICE raids and arrests. It's all the same issue at its core: the persecution of innocents; the blatant abuse of power by the state; the clear and willful violation of individual civil rights.

On #WrongfulConvictionDay, protect the innocent in NC by calling Gov. Stein's Office to ask that he veto HB307. The bill creates an arbitrary timeline for post-conviction litigation in capital cases that would make it virtually impossible to exonerate innocent people on death row.

October 2nd is Wrongful Conviction Day. Women are less than 10% of exonerees. Why? Women face additional hurdles to overturn a wrongful conviction.
