On June 27, 2009 marchers will walk approximately one mile to their state capitols with signs containing statistics and the names of those who have been wrongfully convicted. Once marchers reach their capitol steps, there will be educational speeches and booths handing out information on wrongful convictions.It’s time our nation and its citizens became more informed on the reality of our unjust justice system. Join us for this powerful event! We need March Organizers and volunteers for each state.

The interest in this event has been amazing. It's an entirely grassroots effort--no organizational sponsorship, no funding, just people around the country raising their voices against the national epidemic of wrongful convictions. In just four months, this grassroots effort has grown to include over a dozen states. Events will be held in California, Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and in other places as well.
