Norwalk's Family ReEntry Presents Actor, Activist Danny Glover At The Klein

Glover will be visiting The Klein on May 6 at 7 p.m. Glover has gained respect for his wide-reaching community activism and philanthropic efforts with a particular emphasis on incarceration and racial disparity in America’s prison system. 

Since 1984, Family ReEntry’s effective community-based programs have significantly reduced the likelihood that a client will re-offend, be re-arrested, or be re-incarcerated. Reductions in recidivism resulting from Family ReEntry’s cost-effective programs increase public safety, improve quality of life, and reduce the financial burden on taxpayers. In recent years, Family ReEntry has increased its impact by developing model programs, engaging in comprehensive research, and advocating for effective policy and practice in criminal justice. 

Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch will do welcoming remarks and the Rev. Jeff Grant of the Progressive Prison Project and Family ReEntry board member will be the master of ceremonies.

The panel will consist of Colin McEnroe, (moderator) radio personality from WNPR; Steve Lanza, executive director of Family ReEntry; Erika Tindill, Superior Court judge and former Family ReEntry board member; Glenn Martin, founder and chief risk taker of JustLeadershipUSA; Joseph Gaudett, Jr., Bridgeport Police Chief; Fred Hodges, Family ReEntry FreshStart program manager; and Charles Grodin, actor and social activist.
