This week, we kicked off our countdown to with a visit to West Chester University!

The evening began with a panel discussion featuring students interested in pursuing legal careers. They heard directly from people impacted by wrongful convictions and explored ways they can learn more, raise awareness, and help educate others about our work.

The conversation was followed by a special performance from social justice percussion duo, The Innocents, to bring the evening to a powerful close.

Thank you to the panelists, students, and performers who helped make this evening so meaningful!

This week we say farewell to our Reentry Coordinator, Blanca Castro.

Since 2021, the Project has been deeply impacted by Blanca’s knowledge, compassion, and advocacy. We thank her for being an innovative mind, always seeking to walk alongside our clients during every stage of their reentry journeys. Equally, our team is grateful for Blanca as a colleague whose patience and dedication always remind us of WHO we do this work for.

It’s an understatement to say that Blanca left a lifelong impact on our freed and exonerated clients and the whole of our reentry program. We are sad to see her go, but excited for the next team that will be fortunate enough to benefit from her impact.

Best wishes to you, Blanca! We truly cannot thank you enough!

Happy

Our team is grateful for the many hats worn by our Paralegal, Yahya Moore. His passion for the legal field, experience as an impacted person, and infectious energy is one that we’re thankful to have in our office each day.

When reflecting on his role as our Paralegal, everything lead back to trust. As someone impacted by wrongful convictions, Yahya takes pride in being a representation for the voices who can't speak for themselves. To him, “that trust is more than anything”.
