Turning A Moment Into A Movement
by Jay Love
Turning a Moment Into a Movement exists to transform personal pain into public power. Inspired by the wrongful conviction of Gerard Haycraft, this podcast amplifies the voices of those affected by injustice and the advocates working to dismantle the systems that perpetuate it.Through storytelling, truth-telling, and community-centered conversations, we shine a light on the moments that awaken people to action—and support the movements that demand accountability, equity, and lasting reform.We believe that every story has the power to shift perspectives, and every moment can spark a movement.
