Now I see in their lives strength and knowledge and wisdom and power.

And it shapes what I do.

And part of the reason why I'm so committed to reckoning more honestly with our history of injustice is because buried in that history are stories of hope and resilience that we need to know and we need to understand.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a long list.

I mean, we have hundreds of thousands of people coming out of jails and prisons that have no one to help meet their needs.

We don't do anything in this country to help people recover from five years, 10 years, 20 years of incarceration.

So we're going to need people to step up, to volunteer, to help the institutions in your community that are trying to provide support.

People coming out of jails and prisons with clothes, jobs, opportunities, counseling.

Many of the clients that I represent went to prison before the digital age.

They've never used an ATM.

They don't know anything about cell phones.

And just helping people recover is one of the things you can do.

And we all have skills that people need.

It doesn't matter how old you are or how much you've done.

That's a role you can play.

We have to take on the burdens of people who are most at risk.

And so learning is, I think, really, really important.

We have a website, EJI.org, and it's just filled with all kinds of content that's designed to help people learn about what...

is important.
