The conversation will be moderated by Amanda Alexander, Founder of the Detroit Justice Center and Professor of Afro-American History and Law at the University of Michigan, and will focus on how we promote inclusive economic development and catalyze change within the criminal justice system. We each have an important role to play in the struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice. Join us on September 23 to engage in dialogue on how we build intergenerational justice movements at this critical time in history.
