Why do you come to work at Root & Rebound every day?
I strongly believe that addressing the inequities created by our broken criminal justice system is one of the clearest ways to support low-income communities and communities of color. I’m proud to play a role in creating change on a systemic and individual level for people impacted by incarceration and I have hope that our work can promote healing and provide a chance for all people to thrive regardless of their background.
