We Got Us Now — Walking with Children Impacted by Mass Incarceration

Thursday, January 18, 2024, 5:00pm to 7:00pm
Geddes Hall, Andrews Auditorium

The Initiative on Race and Resilience (IRR) and the Institute for Social Concerns (CSC) join to bring WE GOT US NOW – a national nonprofit advocacy organization established to build greater awareness about the historically invisible population of children impacted by parental incarceration – to ND for Walk The Walk Week. This multimedia educational event will feature founder/CEO Ebony Underwood and WE GOT US NOW Actionists in an educational panel and Q&A session that explores the well-being of this subpopulation of children by sharing stories and insights from lived experience, and bringing awareness to the issues faced for the over 10 million children impacted by parental incarceration in the United States. Please join us as we show solidarity with, and shine dignity on those impacted by 50 years of mass incarceration.

Co-sponsors: Office of the President, Gender Studies Program, Office of Institutional Transformation, Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights.
