Tonight is our annual fundraiser, Evening of Light! 🌟
This event will bring together our community to shine a light on the injustice in the criminal legal system and elevate the voices of those directly impacted by wrongful conviction. The presence and advocacy of our friends, donors, and sponsors stretches beyond the evening, to ensure that we will always be able to leave the light on for those still waiting to come home.
We are incredibly grateful to each member of our community for choosing to support us and create lasting change for those that are wrongfully convicted.
Thank YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We cannot wait to celebrate with you! 💞

"My release from jail was one of the greatest days of my life. My mom and sister picked me up from the prison facilities and took me home. It fulfilled a dream I never thought would actually come true." - Michael McAlister
Though he has since passed, we still choose to honor Mike on his freedom day.
