Responsivism is the belief and practice of personally responding to the needs of others instead of enaging in hostile opposition. Responsive Wellness Responsivism answers the shortcomings of activism. Responsivism is the belief and practice that responding to the unchosen needs of others can produce more favorable results than defensive-provoking adversarial alternatives. Responsivism answers the shortcomings of legalism. ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT Preparing the way Responsivism serves as a precursor to a potential wellness campaign . Such a campaign demands collective effort. Before you can attract interest, you may need to start small, with a personal wellness initiative .

Summary Accuser's needs Other's needs See claimant's full Estimated Innocence Report Post-Conviction Journey Appeal results Every exonerated person had their case first reviewed by the judicial appeals process. Every time, the panel of judges overlooked the injustice of that miscarriage justice. The appellate process focuses on procedural standards. Is it possible to faithfully follow every procedural norm and still find an innocent person guilty? Yet, this happens much more frequently than many would like to admit. Most innocence projects remain under-resourced. Only a handful of lawyers, and often only law students or paralegals, invest hours going through case documents. They don't always find something that can be reversed in court. They tend to seek something they can trust will have a greater chance of being granted a hearing in court. And has a greater chance for success of a conviction reversal. They could risk their funding streams if championing cases with a harder, or little, chance to prevail in court. So they tend to serve those "low hanging fruit" cases of greater promise for overturning a wrongful conviction. Where does this leave the countless souls who are innocent in prison and beyond, who cannot get an innocence litigator to go to bat for them? That's what this Public Exoneration option is for.
