In today's episode, our hosts are honored to have Jen and Jason from the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition (CCJRC) along to talk about the way a stereotypical narrative of misappropriation and irresponsibility was told about people working to help lift others out of their circumstances with the criminal legal systems.
Again, we find that even the best intended reporting and storytelling can have grave impacts on the very people they are designed to serve. So, Jen and Jason help us change the narrative, for the better.
