Description

Hear from speakers, formerly incarcerated community members, and organizations and learn to build your power as a system-impacted advocate. Have you ever been arrested? Incarcerated? On community supervision? Or do you have a loved one who has? Join us to hear from leaders across Texas who have been in your shoes, and learn to use your voice to make change! Speakers will introduce you to the landscape around justice reform in Texas, including youth justice and women's justice, and easy ways to get involved. The event will also feature community leaders, local organizations, voter registration information and resources, and information about record clearing. Hosted by the Statewide Leadership Council, a group of formerly incarcerated and system-impacted advocates working for meaningful change to the INjustice system. The Texas Center for Justice and Equity (TCJE) advocates at the state Capitol and in counties throughout Texas to end mass incarceration, shift funding towards community supports, and reduce racial inequities in the criminal legal system.
