East Erie Satellite: Pardon Project Of Erie: Resolution, Restitution, And Redemption

Speaker: Parris Baker, Ph.D. The PA Pardon Project is a program run by the state Board of Pardons that helps people wipe their records clean of past crimes for which they have completed their sentences. This can help people find better jobs and forgiveness from society and within themselves. The project's website claims it is "easy" to apply but this not really true. Pardon coaches Dr. Parris Baker, Antonio Howard, and Diane Chido will share, along with Ms. Margaret Simms, the long and arduous journey the four have taken for Ms. Margaret to obtain her pardon so the community can learn how difficult this process can be and how they can help others who are so deserving. JES Satellite Programming is sponsored by Erie Insurance.  Location: ECAT: Erie Center for Arts and Technology – 650 East Ave., Ada Lawrence Community Room, Erie, PA 16503 Date/Time: Thursday, June 11th, 6:00-7:30PM Admission: FREE
