We invite the communities most impacted by the intersections of incarceration, re-entry, social identity, and place, including youth of color and their families. This reentry community-building leadership forum will bring together incarceral system impacted leaders, young people, and community partners. This forum will utilize and explore best practices in transformative and restorative justice to engage with intersectional challenges of race, gender, ageism, exceptional abilities, equity, and the need for community-based solutions.
The goal of the leadership forum will be to build a relationship with attendees and hear feedback from the community on solutions to better support those most impacted by the incarceral system.
