Susan Burton Featured as Starbucks "Upstander"
Susan Burton, founder of A New Way of Life Re-Entry Project and author of the forthcoming book Becoming Ms. Burton: From Prison to Recovery to Leading the Fight for Incarcerated Women, will be featured in a new original content series launched by the Starbucks Corporation.
Upstanders aims to inspire Americans to engage in acts of compassion, citizenship, and civility, and features ten stories, each told in written, video, and podcast form, about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. One episode is devoted to Susan Burton, whose organization gives fellow formerly incarcerated women a chance at a new start.
