All the families and friends of the people in the prison march and protest in beautiful song, march together to a new way and a new dawn--in this case a cooperative housing and community center, next to a neighborhood greenhouse for restoration and healing. A new world, where connection and repair are fundamental, and even tangible, as people around a table quilt messages, \"I hear you. I'm sorry for what I did.

Illustrator Olly Costello provides textured images of a global majority community and a grey, monotone backdrop that is overtaken by joyful colors.
