YOUR NEW BEGINNINGS DC

Roach Brown and his wife, Mertine, broadcast live the first Tuesday of every month from the World Famous “Ben’s Chili Bowl” in Washington, DC. Our upcoming Podcast will be broadcast live from various cities nationally. We bring pertinent subject matter to those currently incarcerated and the most vulnerable of all, returnees released after serving decades in prison. We take the radio show to the public through voices.

BACKGROUND

Often a situation requires making an important choice at the meeting of a figurative “Crossroads.”   Today, the United States finds itself at a crossroads between criminal justice and social justice reform, and returnees find themselves in need of access to essential programs and services.  Social justice advocacy efforts are needed where inequality lurks because of unjust prejudices and policies. 

 

Lifetime advocate Rhozier T. “Roach” Brown launched the weekly radio broadcast “Crossroads” on September 15, 2008, as a platform to advocate for criminal justice system reform in the United States, including supporting returnees searching for the proverbial “Second Chance.”  For over 10 years, Brown and his staff have volunteered their time to broadcast over 500 episodes of Crossroads from Washington, D.C.   He features guests from all walks of life, and they discuss topics touching on social and criminal justice reform.

We will gratefully receive a contribution of any size. A gift of $150 will provide transitional housing and supportive services for a returning citizen for one day.
