This episode will provide the background to the successful exoneration (by the passing of Resolution HJ 34 in Connecticut). You'll hear from the same 4 people that were interviewed in my series (from July 2022) and the tremendous efforts it took to get this bill passed. There were many components to this positive outcome - working w/ local representatives (including Rep. Jane Garibay), many volunteers and the power of various social media outlets. Also this team's involvement with Dr. Leo Igwe, a human right's activist from Nigeria, fighting modern day witch killings. These 4 people will also tell how this has impacted their lives. Please see related links at the end.
