Freedom Conversations

This series was designed to BUILD and SUSTAIN the real relationships of the real people that are sojourning to end mass incarceration in the US. It will help you engage your family, friends, local activists and faith community around issues resulting from the carceral state in our country.

What should I expect?

No previous knowledge, training or experience is necessary to join the Freedom Conversations. Participants include faith leaders, members of faith congregations, community activists, those involved in justice-related work, social justice students, impacted families and returning citizens.

Freedom Conversations brings some of the leading experts on the issues surrounding mass incarceration in the U.S. directly to you. All interactive Zoom sessions will include actionable steps you and those in your community can take to make a positive impact. You’ll also have access to follow-up toolkits that help you take action in your community.
