In this episode, we sit down with Nancy Peters, a Connecticut-based advocate who recently founded Brothers and Sisters United in Action (BSUACT)—an organization born from lived experience, resilience, and a deep commitment to justice.

Nancy shares how her journey into advocacy began, the moments that pushed her from silent supporter to active organizer, and why she chose to create BSUACT as a space for families, loved ones, and community members to come together and demand change. We talk about the emotional toll of advocacy, the importance of collective action, and what it really takes to challenge a system that thrives on isolation and silence.

This conversation isn’t just about incarceration—it’s about unity, hope, and the power of ordinary people standing together to fight for reform and a reimagined future for those impacted by the system.

If you’ve ever wondered how advocacy starts, how movements grow, or how you can be part of meaningful change, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
