The Innocence Project is the headquarters of the Innocence Network — a powerful collection of 68 organizations working for the wrongfully convicted. As its headquarters, the IP’s Network Support Unit (NSU) is dedicated to building the capacity and sustainability of Network organizations and leaders, and harnessing the Network's collective power by fostering connection and increasing visibility towards our common mission. Additionally, the Innocence Movement has grown exponentially to include an over 3.3 million strong digital community fighting for justice and freedom alongside the innocent, especially in campaigns for innocent people fighting for their lives on death row and as advocates for local policy reform campaigns. Together we will expand public education; increase our exoneration capacity; and continue to engage, elevate, and center the exoneree community in the movement.

As we head into our fourth decade, the Innocence Project is embracing its role in transforming the criminal legal system — to root it in equity and accountability, and center it on data and science. Thus, we are proudly launching a new, board-approved, five-year strategic plan that boldly deepens and expands upon our cutting-edge justice work. Grounded in three foundational pillars, we will work to: restore freedom for the innocent and support their healing and reconnection to community; transform unjust systems through policy reform and high-impact litigation; and advance the innocence movement to strengthen our partners and maximize our collective impact. We will also continue to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism in our work within the criminal legal system and our own organization. The strategic plan pillars will drive an expansion of our exoneration efforts beyond DNA, strengthen our scientific and forensic initiatives, and challenge the ways racial bias drives so many wrongful conviction cases.
