In this powerful episode, Callie Greer, a longtime grassroots organizer and community navigator for Alabama Appleseed, shares how her personal loss led her to fight for the right to heal—a vision of justice that prioritizes healing, accountability, and investment in community safety.
Callie recounts advocating for a more compassionate sentence for the young man who took her son’s life, recognizing that true justice offers a path for both survivors and those who have caused harm to heal. She also reflects on her experience at the March on Washington, where she found strength in a movement of survivors fighting for real safety.
Aswad Thomas closes the episode with an exciting announcement: CSSJ will be launching a new chapter in Alabama in 2025. This expansion will help support survivor-led organizations like Alabama Appleseed, ensuring more communities have access to the resources, advocacy, and policy reforms needed to create lasting change.
Join us for this deeply moving conversation about resilience, justice, and the power of survivors leading the way.
