Welcome to Stepping Toward Justice with Sarah A. Ford - a podcast where we’ll explore what justice really looks like - inside of a courtroom, outside in our communities, and where access to justice is lacking. We’ll talk with advocates, survivors, and changemakers working to make justice a reality for us all. We can’t change what we don’t understand or acknowledge. So let’s take a step together toward justice.
