Our Services
We work with wrongfully convicted PCRA petitioners, their supporters, and their legal teams to create post-conviction defense cohorts that overcome the isolation and dehumanization that we all experience in the PCRA process.
Guided by petitioners and counsel for strategic timing and content, we offer the following pro bono services:
• Serve as an information clearinghouse for supporters about court dates, location, updates, and proceedings
• Cultivate routine presence/solidarity at all court proceedings
• Develop and sustain a community of supporters
• Coordinate letter-writing campaigns to critical stakeholders
• Hold restorative justice community building circles with attorneys and petitioners’ supporters
• Crowdsource nonfinancial resources (e.g. carpooling)
• Build a corps of volunteers to court watch
• Raise awareness about wrongful convictions and specific cases through social media and public workshops
• Offer a “Know Your Post-Conviction System” curriculum for supporters
• Assist with home plan development and connection with reentry services
• Support crowdsourced fundraising for reentry.

“When a movement of people - even if it is only a few people or a couple family members - commit to winning the liberation of a member of their community, they distribute the emotional and psychological labor that is involved in such important, arduous work, and often the practical labor that goes into organizing courthouse support, communications strategy, and perhaps most critically the work of staying in community with those behind the walls.”
—Bret Grote, Legal Director of the Abolitionist Law Center (reflecting on the the “Free Yahya Moore” campaign)
