Join us this Friday, January 22nd for a special screening of "The Exonerated."

The Anti-Racism Working Group in partnership with Voice of the Ex-Offender (V.O.T.E) will be screening The Exonerated, a movie based on the true stories of six different people who were wrongfully imprisoned and their experiences of exoneration. After the movie organizers from VOTE will be there to talk about their experiences of exoneration and the important work the VOTE does.
