<div>On October 6, 2024, our dear friend Joe Giarratano died peacefully at home. His death marked the end of a life filled with struggles against injustice and a fight for freedom. We are now raising money to cover the costs associated with a funeral. and burial. Joe will be cremated and  ashes buried with his beloved Marie Deans, the death penalty activist who fought so hard - with a team of talented lawyers and volunteers - to save Joe from the electric chair. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At one point, Joe was the most famous death row inmate in America. Convicted of a double murder in 1979, a crime that he clearly did not commit, Joe came within twenty-four hours of being executed before Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder granted him a conditional pardon based on significant concerns about factual innocence, reduced his sentence to life, and asked his attorney general to give Joe a new trial – a request that was refused. Joe would remain in prison until December 2017, when he was finally paroled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There were many remarkable things about Joe. For a man whose childhood was filled with pain and abuse, and whose education did not extend beyond high school, Joe was a compassionate, fiercely intelligent man who helped bring order to Virginia’s violent death row and who used his self-taught legal skills to litigate on behalf of his fellow inmates. One of the best examples of Joe’s talents involved fellow death row inmate Earl Washington, Jr., an intellectually disabled prisoner who came within eight days of being executed before Joe convinced a federal court to stay the process. Washington would later be fully exonerated, released from prison, and compensated for his wrongful conviction. More broadly, Joe’s efforts to improve prison conditions and prisoners’ access to attorneys impacted the lives of thousands of Virginia inmates.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His interest in seeking justice for the incarcerated did not abate after his release. Whether working for the Innocence Project or helping inmates with clemency and parole petitions, Joe continued to advocate for those without a voice. And he toured college campuses, helping students understand that state-sanctioned death was not the solution to fighting crime.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joe’s life was a miracle. He never stopped fighting the good fight, and, in the end, he defeated the staggering number of obstacles that were placed in his way. Now it is time for his friends to help Joe one last time. 
</div>
