Elizer Darris shares his empowering story of how he turned his life around, from serving a life sentence in MN prisons to becoming a recognized and celebrated leader in the Twin Cities, MN, community. Elizer is at the forefront of advocating for the Restore the Right to Vote bill and justice within the criminal and immigration systems. He is the Co-Executive Director at the Minnesota Freedom Fund and a former ACLU organizer; he was appointed by MN Governor Walz to the State Board of Public Defense and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Legal Revolution. Elizer talks about how the elders in prison and his organizing roles in the Nekima-Levy Armstrong Mayoral race helped transform his life and the bold steps he took in prison to make this possible.
Elizer is a recent recipient of the 2022 “40 under 40” recognition in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal and an Echoing Green 2022 Fellow.
