The Restorative Justice at UUAA has invited three leaders in the criminal justice reform movement to speak about the joys and challenges of returning to society after serving time in prison.  Each person will share their story of reentry as well as that of others, including the essential role of support from the community that helped them in their journey to activism.

Please join us in person to welcome:

• Lawanda Hollister (American Friends Service Committee) (Ypsilanti),
• Adam Grant (A Brighter Way) (Ypsilanti)
• E.B. Jordan (S&D PJ Housing) (Detroit)

on Sunday, January 29, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m for information and sharing ideas on how we as a congregation can take part in this journey.  If you are unable to join in person, please contact:  restorativejusticeinfo@uuaa.org or register at:
