Únase a nosotros para un powerful VAAC Friday conversation featuring special guest Eric Anderson desde Organización de exonerados as part of Mes de la segunda oportunidad.

Exonerees are individuals who were wrongfully convicted and have fought to reclaim their freedom. Their experiences expose deep failures within our criminal legal system y el lasting impact of wrongful incarceration on individuals, families, and entire communities.

This conversation will focus on what happens after exoneration and how people move forward after the system gets it wrong.

During Mes de la segunda oportunidad, we recognize the importance of restoring opportunity y supporting people as they rebuild their lives. This conversation will explore how compromiso cívico y votación become critical pathways for reclaiming voice, agency, and power.

Participation in the democratic process is about more than casting a ballot. It is about being heard, shaping change, and ensuring that what happened to them does not happen to others.

This is an opportunity to listen, learn, and deepen our understanding of the connection between justice, democracy, and building civic power, and why those most impacted must be at the center of this work.
