Want to hear how a drug sale to an undercover FBI agent lead to the creation of a community-based organization called Jail Guitar Doors? These are the kinds of conversations we have at the Together We Thrive Summit and Festival, Powered by JCOD.

Thanks to Jail Guitar Doors for participating in the Road to Safer Communities CFCI Panel at last year's summit, and for the work you're doing for the justice-impacted community!
