UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour - August 1st at 11:00am - Free James Richardson. This Friday, we will be joined by Hibah Elawad of the Free James Richardson Campaign. James Richardson's case is widely regarded as one of the most egregious wrongful conviction cases in our nation, but on August 26th, there will be a hearing in Greenville, NC that could lead to his exoneration and release. Join us for this important Friday Action Hour where we will watch a short 10-minute documentary on the case, and then get to work writing Letters to the Editor. Together we can help make sure that the entire state knows James' story.
