S1E4 - Know Law, Use Law, Shape Law: Vivek Maru on Legal Empowerment

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, March 24, 2026 • Duration 36:21

Episode Notes

In this fourth episode of Conversations with Young Justice Leaders, Abbas Luyombo interviews Vivek Maru, CEO and co-founder of Namati, an organization advancing social and environmental justice by combining the power of law with the power of people.

Vivek shares the origin of his work, from nearly dropping out of law school to moving to post-war Sierra Leone, where he discovered that community paralegals could help ordinary people win real justice from broken systems. He explains Namati's model of "legal empowerment" and the cycle of “know law, use law, and shape law,” illustrated through the story of Mrs. Jallow, a woman who couldn't read or write but led her community to reverse a 75,000-acre illegal land grab by a European oil palm company. Vivek also discusses the chronic underfunding of the demand side of justice, how solidarity and networks keep frontline advocates safe in shrinking civic spaces, and why he believes young people have the power to fix what is broken. The conversation closes with reflections on AI-powered legal tools, the Grassroots Justice Network, and a vision of a justice system truly of, by, and for the people.

S1E3 - Where You're From Doesn't Dictate Who You Are: Rondo Bonilla's Story

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 35:39

Episode Notes

In this third episode of Conversations with Young Justice Leaders, Anoushka Sinha interviews Michael "Rondo" Bonilla, co-chair of the Future Shapers Council at Reform Alliance and Gen Z justice organizer.

Rondo discusses his transformative journey from spending 19.5 months at Rikers Island as a teenager to becoming a national voice for criminal justice reform. He explains how justice work "chose him" through programs like Fatherless No More and ThreeSixty while incarcerated, and how speaking at Michael Rubin's house in front of influencers made his work personal. Rondo emphasizes that a great majority of crimes stem from poverty and that young people need rehabilitation before incarceration, not after. The conversation covers the reality of technical violations that send 200,000-300,000 people back to jail yearly for non-criminal infractions, the importance of personal time to avoid burnout, and his vision for dismantling the $300 billion mass incarceration system. Rondo shares powerful advice for young leaders: "Do work you would do for free: that's how you know you're passion-driven."
