Emergent Justice was formed with Participatory Defense at our foundation, and we first entered the wrongful conviction fight when a case was brought to our Participatory Defense HUB in 2021. We’ve been planning to reactivate our HUB and decided merging the Wrongful Conviction Freedom Warriors with it made sense. Why?
- Wrongful convictions and over-sentencing have common root causes.
- The Wrongful Conviction Freedom Warriors was created using the Participatory Defense model of organizing and has operated as a HUB since it began.
We invite you to join us this Wednesday, August 30th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm to learn more about our Participatory Defense work and the merging of these two groups. Registration is required: https://emergentjustice.org/registration-for-august-30th/
