The Racial Justice Project at UUCUC is pleased to co-sponsor a talk by Dr. Rebekah Buchanan, Associate Professor and Director of English Education at Western Illinois University. Dr. Buchanan was a 2018-2019 Fulbright Roving Scholar to Norway, where she was welcomed into their schools, libraries, and prisons. She will show slides, share stories, and invite attendees to envision a prison system where rehabilitation and restoration are the purpose.
Also at the event, First Followers will provide an update on the opening of a re-entry house for formerly incarcerated people in Champaign. Members of Champaign County Bailout Coalition will discuss efforts to provide bail funds for individuals unable to afford them. Funds raised at the event will go to the Champaign County Bailout Fund.
Entrance is free!
