Stand up against wrongful convictions. Because every human deserves freedom.
An estimated 20,000+ people in the U.S. are currently wrongfully imprisoned, spending an average of 14 years behind bars before being exonerated. Wrongful convictions disproportionately impact communities of color and the poor.
Two men, wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for years, regained their freedom in 2025 after tireless advocacy. I_am_HUMAN was part of the movement that secured their pardon — proof that persistence and unity can change lives.
Meet our founder
At just 16 years old, Abby Pollak decided that silence in the face of injustice was not an option. What began with handing out winter hats to people facing homelessness has grown into a national movement challenging wrongful convictions and fighting for freedom.
“I believe every person deserves to be seen, valued, and free. That is why I created I_am_HUMAN.”
