Join us for an evening of intentional bridge building during the National Week of Conversation! April is National Second Chance Month, observed in the United States during April since 2017. It is a “nationwide effort to raise awareness of the collateral consequences of a criminal conviction and unlock second-chance opportunities for people who have completed their sentences to become contributing citizens.”
We will discuss Restorative Justice using a Living Room Conversation model as as we experience the #ListenFirst mission of Inspiring hope and desire to connect and understand Equipping Americans with skills, opportunities, and courage to build bridges across divides. Normalizing listening to understand, extend grace, and seek common ground. If you would like to be a part of the conversation, please register here by April 12, 2023.

This evening is brought to you by the Clear My Record Project at UMKC’s School of Law and the Kansas City Public Library. Refreshments will be served.
