An Evening of Hope, Transformation, and Second Chances

August 20, 2026

By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

What if the hardest chapter of your life became the only story people were willing to tell about you?

For many women impacted by the criminal justice system, one decision, one crisis, or one period of instability can follow them for years. It can affect where they live, how they support their families, and whether they are given a real opportunity to move forward.

The Benedict Center helps women impacted by the criminal justice system build safer, healthier lives for themselves, their families, and our communities.

On September 23, 2026, you are invited to experience what that transformation looks like at the Benedict Center’s Women & Justice event, An Evening of Hope, Transformation, and Second Chances.

You will hear powerful stories directly from women whose lives have changed, meet the people working alongside them, and see how second changes strengthen families and an entire community.

This event will be at the Italian Community Center, 631 E. Chicago Street in Milwaukee. Please register by September 11.
