Petition Delivery: Tell DA Cy Vance to Reopen Linda Fairstein's Cases NOW

On Wednesday, September 25, Color Of Change and The Gathering for Justice will deliver over 42,000 petition signatures to the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance. We are demanding that DA Cy Vance immediately reopen Central Park Five then-prosecutor Linda Fairstein's cases.

WHEN: Wednesday, September 25th at 11:00am EST

WHERE: Manhattan District Attorney's Office - 100 Centre St., New York, NY 10013
Linda Fairstein, responsible for the false prosecution of the 'Exonerated Five' (fka "the Central Park Five), oversaw hundreds of cases during her tenure in the Manhattan DA's office. And there's no telling how many of those convictions should be overturned too. We refuse to stand by idly while even one person is unjustly incarcerated or languishes in the criminal legal system due to Linda's failure as a prosecutor. With all that we know of Fairstein's past as a prosecutor, DA Cy Vance should use his authority, stand on the side of justice, and reopen Linda's cases so his office isn't responsible for another false prosecution.
 
We need to keep the pressure up and remind Cy Vance that we will not give up and will continue to hold him accountable for the past actions of his office's prosecutors.
 
Will you join us in calling on DA Cy Vance to reopen her cases?
