Join Kayla Victor, the Chair of the Connecting for Justice International Conference, and Julia Lazareck, founder of Prison The Hidden Sentence and president of Prison Families Alliance, as they discuss the significance of this year's event, emphasizing the importance of sharing stories and gaining insights from diverse perspectives. From individuals with loved ones in the carceral system to counselors, returning citizens, educators, law enforcement, judges, elected officials, victims of crimes, students, and more, this conference brings together a wide array of voices. Through sharing information and learning from one another, attendees collaborate towards positive change, fostering a more compassionate and empathetic world. Mark your calendars for September 18-20 in Ashland, OH, where this conference, in partnership with Ashland University and The Ridge Project, offers a safe, nonjudgmental space for forging new connections and building a supportive community. No matter when you listen to this podcast, you'll find inspiration and insights to support anyone affected by their involvement with or connection to the carceral system.
