To start us off, Janos announces the rebranding of the “crime bill” campaign to the Serious About Safety Campaign. Then he’s joined by Yusuf Dahl and Matthew Petit for part one of a special series focused on Dream.Org’s Empathy Network Leaders. Yusuf was denied housing in Pennsylvania for past drug convictions and now advocates for the local and national versions of the bipartisan Fair Future Act. While Matthew is using his lived experience to change the narrative around what’s happening in the New Mexico criminal justice system. They talk about their personal journeys to advocacy and the barriers and misconceptions surrounding incarceration.
