Free Movement

This session provides a platform for formerly incarcerated people to present effective models that address the challenges facing people with criminal histories. The session highlights a series of short talks by formerly incarcerated individuals on topics such as harnessing the political power of the formerly incarcerated, crime and violence reduction, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and trauma informed care.  In addition the session will include an overview of the barriers (access to house, employment, education) that the formerly incarcerated face. Following the presentations, there will be a brainstorming and engagement with those that attend.
