# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Justice for Toforest Johnson, Justice for Birmingham: An Evening Conversation
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 15 Sep, 2025 at 06:30 pm – Mon, 15 Sep, 2025 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Toforest Johnson (www.toforestjohnson.com ) is a son, a brother, and a father who has spent more than 26 years on Alabama’s death row for a crime he did not commit. He was convicted in 1998 for the 1995 murder of Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputy William G. Hardy—despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence.

More than ten witnesses testified that Toforest was across town at the time of the crime. There was no physical evidence linking him to the scene. No eyewitnesses placed him there. Since the day of his arrest, he has unwaveringly maintained his innocence.

Yet, the Alabama Attorney General continues to pursue his execution.

This grave injustice has sparked national outrage. Those calling for a new trial include former Alabama Supreme Court Justices such as Drayton Nabers Jr., former Governors including Robert Bentley, former Attorneys General including Bill Baxley, U.S. Senator Doug Jones, and current Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr.

Join us -- Greater Birmingham Ministries, MAD?Make A Difference, and HIVE Alabama -- on Monday, September 15th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Round Auditorium at the Homewood Public Library (1721 Oxmoor Rd, Birmingham, AL 35209) as we gather to learn more about Toforest’s case, hear clips from the award-winning Earwitness podcast—produced by Birmingham journalist Beth Shelburne—and explore how we can stand in solidarity with Toforest and his family in the fight for justice.
