We hosted the two-day Leadership Summit for our Pardon Project Steering Committee this past weekend in Harrisburg. Over 20 PPSC leaders from 16 different counties came together to discuss how best to reach out to and organize client communities across the state so that the voices of those who suffer from the discrimination will be heard in the corridors of power.
