We work to open avenues where our clients can share their stories and change the narrative about who is incarcerated for violent crime. This includes hiring system-impacted leadership within UnCommon Law on our Board, Board of Advisors, and as staff members.
We advocate for greater representation of our clients and system-impacted people in media appearances, hold client speaking events, and host an ongoing film and discussion series led by client voices. Our team is committed to sharing and elevating the stories of our clients and their communities at every level of our work.
We also work to empower the loved ones and advocates of currently-incarcerated people at key public education events, including “Lifer School,” an annual, one-of-a-kind training on how to support people serving life and long-term sentences, as well as through our best-in-class resources available in Spanish and English via mail and online.
