In this podcast, Jess and Annie hope to build a new legacy of justice for their sister and for those most impacted by the unjust laws that were passed in Polly’s name. A New Legacy is a path out of punishment toward a new vision of justice and healing. This podcast features an inclusive coalition of voices and strategies that aim to disrupt cycles of harm from the beginning to create safer and healthier communities and a better world for everyone.
