Change Starts with Education.
OOE advances justice through public education and exoneree-led advocacy. By elevating lived experience, we help drive meaningful systemic change.
Why Public Education & Policy Reform Matter
Matter
Wrongful convictions do not happen in isolation. They reveal gaps in systems, policies, and practices that can impact countless lives.
Public education creates opportunities to address those challenges by increasing awareness, informing public understanding, and promoting accountability.
OOE works to ensure that exonerees are not only supported after release, but also empowered to help shape a more just future.
