275: For The People - Hillary Blout

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Hillary Blout — attorney, advocate, and founder of For The People.

Hillary is a powerhouse changemaker who is transforming the justice system through something called Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing (PIR). Under her leadership, For The People has partnered with District Attorneys across the country to take a second look at old cases, identify people who can be safely released, and reunite families — all while strengthening communities.

In 2018, Hillary drafted and helped secure the passage of AB 2942 — the first PIR law in the nation. The following year, she founded For The People to implement this groundbreaking law and spearhead a movement for post-conviction justice. Since then, PIR has expanded into six states and given more than 1,000 people a second chance.
