The REENTRY THINK TANK connects returning citizens with artists and advocates to transform the stereotypes, social services, and platforms that impact our lives and communities.
We believe that those directly impacted by the criminal justice system are the experts that society needs to hear from most. In partnership with Community Legal Services the Reentry Think Tank and People's Paper Co-op has spent years creating art, events, and campaigns to help end the practice of education discrimination. Their work has reached thousands through videos, posters, pop-up art exhibits during City Council meetings, news media, and events in Harrisburg. Listen to those who know the issue the best, Education = Freedom!
