The Wrongful Convictions Revolution™ is a movement that encompasses any and all individuals/organizations whose mission includes striving to put justice back in our Criminal Justice System. As part of WCNs restructuring, we will soon be accepting sponsorships from both individuals and organizations who would like to join us in the fight to stop wrongful convictions, to create equality, and to eliminate the racial bias and racism that is systemic within our current legal system.
The Wrongful Convictions Revolution™ is making great strides towards a legal system that is transparent and accountable to those who have already been wrongfully convicted and to keep it from happening to innocent people in the future.

"Most people find solace in being innocent; but those who have been wrongfully accused know that innocence is not a comforting companion in our legal system.

It can, and has, happened to people from all walks of life. And it can happen to you...you are not immune!" -Liz Franklin
"La mayoría de la gente encuentra consuelo al ser inocente; pero aquellos que han sido acusados injustamente saben que la idea de ser inocente no es un alivio en nuestro sistema legal.

Sin embargo, eso no podría estar más lejos de la realidad. Puede ser, y ha sucedido a personas de todos los ámbitos de la vida. Y te puede pasar a ti ... ¡no eres inmune!" -Liz Franklin

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."
October 2, 2020, marked the seventh annual International Wrongful Conviction Day; a day to raise awareness of the causes of wrongful convictions and to recognize and acknowledge the tremendous personal, social, economical, and emotional costs of wrongful convictions for innocent people and their families around the world.
