PMT: Coming up next week
I'm not giving up on clemency. I'm ornery that way.
Nkechi Taifa and I set up an even for next week that should be fascinating. Here is who will be speaking (listed in alphabetical order on the flyer):
Roy Austin, who worked on clemency in the Obama White House
Rachel Barkow, esteemed NYU professor (and a great co-author)
Brittany Barnett, a leading clemency advocate
MiAngel Cody, a former Federal Defender who founded the Decarceration Collective
Jason Hernandez, formerly incarcerated clemency recipient and advocate
Mark Holden, General Counsel, Koch Industries
Andrea James, Founder of Families for Justice as Healing
Van Jones, {Really? You don't know who Van Jones is?}
Paul Larkin, Jr., Senior Legal Research Fellow, Heritage Foundation
[Me]
Amy Povah, formerly incarcerated clemency recipient & founder of CAN-DO Clemency
Nkechi Taifa, Advocacy Director, Open Society Foundations
Ebony Underwood, daughter of an incarcerated father & founder of We Got Us Now.
Creating the problem of over-incarceration was a bi-partisan effort. Solving that problem will be, too. There are a lot of different voices represented here, and I can't wait to be among them.
