Jill Gonzalez - Women's Storybook Project Mar 1 2022 - 3:29:22, 1.40 PM

Our guest is Jill Gonzalez. She is the Executive Director for the Women’s Storybook Project of Texas. It is a non-profit organization where volunteers go into Texas women’s prisons, meet with mothers and have them read a book that is recorded and then brought back to their children. A heartwarming program. An incredible statistic: 80 % of incarcerated women in Texas are mothers. Visits for many families are often difficult or impossible because of cost and distance.

Mr. Jeroboam

This show brings up so many environmental issues in the Austin community, but it can also be applied to cities across the US. The hosts and guests are very knowledgable. So many environmental issues must be addressed on the local level, and that's what these guys are doing!
