S5 Ep. 9 | Investing in Decarceration Through Policy Reform
Building a Better Tomorrow
Making way for the future.
We're continuing to demystify what it means to be an activist engaged in policy reform with this incredibly insightful interview with Khalil Cumberbatch. Khalil is a nationally recognized advocate for criminal justice and deportation policy reform who serves as the Director of Engagement and Partnerships for the Council on Criminal Justice.
Khalil shares not just his story but the ways in which his past informs the way he advocates for those who are not always in a position to do so for themselves. And while he shares his testimony, he leaves behind a pathway for each of us, especially those who once felt powerless to advocate on their behalf, to see in what ways they can show up in rooms and serve as an informed advocate for themselves and their community.
