Interview Represent Justice Ambassadors & Speakers Bureau Members
The people closest to the criminal legal system are often the people best positioned to explain its impact and imagine what should come next.
Represent Justice works with a national network of system-impacted filmmakers, advocates, organizers, artists, and community leaders whose expertise is grounded in lived experience and years of work in their communities.
Our Ambassadors and Speakers Bureau members can contribute to reporting, broadcasts, and other media conversations on topics including incarceration, sentencing, reentry, family separation, youth justice, women and incarceration, restorative justice, advocacy, filmmaking, narrative change, and more.
We can help identify a speaker whose experience and expertise best align with your story.
