Tag: Anti-death penalty

Date: Wednesday, 10/2, 9:00am-3:00pm

Location: Curran Place, UD

Every year, our criminal justice system puts innocent people behind bars. This injustice must be addressed, and the Ohio Innocence Project takes on this mission. On Wed., 10/2, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Diocese of Columbus, and ELCA Southern Ohio Synod will present a day on the work of the OIP, hearing from both the professionals who run the program as well as several exonerees. We will also hear a legislative update on several related bills and have a chance for conversation with the exonerees.

For more information, check out the event website or contact Andrew Musgrave. You can register here.
