Ambassador
In 2020, millions marched for Black lives after the murder of George Floyd to demand police accountability, exposing a common desire to end systems of injustice. Now, people are asking what they can do beyond the protests. We believe in knowledge as a critical part change, and with this principle in mind, we are excited to announce the Restoring Justice Ambassador program!
Having honest conversations with friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors is integral to this movement for change. Join us in building community and advocating for disproportionately criminalized populations in Harris County and across the country. Restoring Justice Ambassadors will utilize educational resources to facilitate conversations, and all participants will emerge with ways to take action toward ending mass incarceration. Restoring Justice will then participate with you in a dual presentation put on by someone on staff!

Our Ambassador program consists of 3-4 options depending on your availability, and what appeals most to you:
