Use Your Miles to Help The Exonerated

Dear Courtney,

Thank you for your continued support and activism to help free the innocent.  Today, I’m writing with a simple and unique opportunity for you to help people who have been exonerated after serving years or decades in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. Without spending a dime, you can help us send exonerees to Atlanta this April for the annual Innocence Network Conference.

Please donate points through your credit card program or miles through your airline frequent-flier plan, and we will use all of the donations to help exonerees attend this critical gathering. American Express Rewards Points are particularly easy for us to process, but we can also work with other credit card and airline programs. If you are interested in using your points or miles to help exonerees, please call me at 212-364-5992 or email me at aamel@innocenceproject.org.

The Innocence Network conference is the only event all year where exonerees from around the country gather to network, receive support from one another, learn ways to cope and transition back into the world after prison, and find ways to prevent future wrongful convictions. This year, we have had more requests for financial assistance for travel than ever. Without donations of points or miles, we will have to say no to some of these requests.

Help us make this conference the best one yet for as many exonerees as possible. Donating points or miles only takes a minute, and it can have a profound impact on the exonerated. Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Angela Amel
