Amanda DuBois: Getting Lives Back on Track

About this episode

Amanda DuBois discusses her workshops aimed at empowering formerly incarcerated individuals through education on civil rights and advocacy.

I came up with this idea that we would have workshops, and we would have formerly incarcerated people come to the workshops, and we would teach them about organizing and teach about women's suffrage, civil rights, and marriage equality. How impactful a group of people can be if they all have the same interest. They're voters. They can talk to the state legislators and tell them, 'I'm a voter and what they're doing is making my life really hard.' And, to my great surprise, it totally worked!
