Revisit the 2025 Justice for All Gala

Nearly 200 supporters, freed and exonerated clients, advocates, and friends came together with a shared commitment to a more just future at NCIP’s annual Justice for All (JFA) Gala on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

We celebrated two extraordinary changemakers: Catherine Boyle was honored with the 2025 Champion of Justice Award for her compassionate advocacy and unwavering dedication to freeing the wrongfully convicted. Exonerated Nation received the second-ever Quedellis “Rick” Walker Spirit Award, honoring the organization’s leadership in building community for exonerees and driving systemic change.

Throughout the night, we recognized the strength and resilience of our exonerees and the community whose support made their freedom possible. Guests also experienced Portraits of Freedom: A Visual Tribute to Lives Reclaimed, a powerful photo display honoring the humanity and future selves of our freed and exonerated clients.
