🚨 SAVE THE DATE — INTERNATIONAL WRONGFUL CONVICTION DAY 🚨
đź“… Thursday, October 2, 2025
đź•› 12:00 PM
📍 Cuyahoga County Justice Center – 1200 Ontario St, Cleveland, OH- We will be standing on LAKESIDE AVE!
On International Wrongful Conviction Day, we come together to honor those who were stolen from by our justice system, stand with those still behind bars, and demand accountability from the courts, prosecutors, and parole board.
Join EPIC – Ensuring Parole for Incarcerated Citizens, along with co-sponsors Tony Viola, Justice for Dawn Pasela, and The Law Offices of Kimberly Kendall Corral, for our 5th Annual Wrongful Conviction Day Rally.
đź’ś Our Goal This Year:
To have enough supporters to wrap the entire Justice Center building with people united for truth and justice. This will be a powerful, visual statement to media, lawmakers, and the public that wrongful convictions are a crisis we can’t ignore.
✊ What to Expect:
Inspiring stories from exonerees and families still fighting for their loved ones
Calls to action for legislative change in Ohio’s parole and justice systems
Community connection with advocates, students, and legal professionals
A peaceful but powerful presence in front of Cleveland’s halls of power
🟣 Wear purple to show your support for the wrongfully convicted.
📣 Bring signs, banners, bullhorns, and your voice.
📸 Use hashtags #WrongfulConvictionDay #FreeThemAll #EPICOhio
“Every year we bring more people to our community. Each year, a new family or two joins us for the first time—not knowing this kind of support even existed. Some have traveled from all parts of Ohio, and even as far as Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri, and Illinois. This movement is growing because it has to.” — Jeanna Kenney, President of EPIC
🗣 We need YOU there—friends, family, students, voters, and neighbors. Let’s make history together on October 2nd.
📌 RSVP, Share this post, and tag your friends. Together, we will fill the streets with TRUTH, HOPE, and POWER.
Concluding the rally we will march to the FREE stamp!
