MEET TROY STREATER

Troy Streater is a New Haven, Connecticut–based advocate whose life was reshaped by a wrongful conviction, and whose mission today is focused on completing justice for others. After years taken from him by a conviction that was later cleared through an absolute pardon, Troy emerged with a purpose bigger than his own story: to push for accountability, fair compensation, and systemic reform that protects families and communities from the cost of injustice.

Known for his direct voice and grounded perspective, Troy speaks to what most people never see, the human aftermath of incarceration, the long road to rebuilding, and the urgency of making “justice” mean more than a headline. His work centers on prison reform, second chances, and the belief that dignity and due process are not privileges, they are rights. He brings lived experience into rooms where policy is debated and into communities where hope is hardest to hold.

This platform exists to tell the record clearly, amplify the mission, and mobilize support. Troy’s fight is not only about what happened to him, it’s about what Connecticut, and every state, must do when a conviction is cleared: act with transparency, accept responsibility, and make meaningful repair. Because justice isn’t complete when the system admits a wrong; it’s complete when the harm is addressed.
