In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring legacy of justice, equity, and service, this meaningful gathering brings together community leaders, advocates, service providers, and community members for a purposeful conversation centered on action.

The program will focus on pathways to successful reentry, highlight critical resources, and encourage collective service that promotes dignity, opportunity, and hope for returning citizens.
