Today's episode, we're joined by our incredible interns Riya Ashok & Ethan Nichter, who have been part of The National Reentry Network For Returning Citizens this summer as interns.

They've contributed to the mission, growth as young professionals, and today, they're here to reflect on what they've learned, how this work shaped them, and where they hope to go from here. Take a listen...

In this powerful conversation, the National Reentry Network for Returning Citizens sits down with Rev. George Gilbert Jr., Pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church and Executive Director of the Center for Racial Equity & Justice. Rev. Gilbert shares his lifelong commitment to advancing equity and justice through faith, advocacy, and community leadership. Together, we explore the urgent need to address public health inequities and economic injustice that disproportionately impact Black and returning citizen communities. From the pulpit to public policy, Rev. Gilbert offers insight on how faith-based leadership, grassroots organizing, and systemic change can intersect to build healthier and more just futures.

Justice Fellow with DC Justice Lab, and Zachary Ragone, Policy Director with The National Reentry Network for Returning Citizens, as we break down the complex world of community supervision—probation, parole, and supervised release.
