After her "letter to you," Sarah Gregory continues to speak for forgiveness, justice, and sanity

August 27, 2025

Two years ago, shortly after this website had launched, we were honored to be introduced to our friend Sarah Gregory and her moving, powerful, and challenging story. Sarah wrote about her experiences for Letters To You, and her essay remains one of the best, most important ones we've ever published. Click here to read Sarah's 2023 essay for Letters To You, "'Grabbed my pen and bowed my head...' - How 'Letter to You' inspired healing and forgiveness."

We also are pleased, though certainly not surprised, to learn that Sarah remains very active around death-penalty issues. It's great to know that she continues to share her story and speak out on behalf of forgiveness, justice, and sanity.

With that in mind, we are very glad to help spread the word about Sarah's upcoming "Be The Boss" episode on E Street Radio. She'll be playing some of her favorite Springsteen tracks and, of course, sharing some of the story of how Bruce's song "Letter To You" inspired her to write a life-changing letter of her own. SiriusXM subscribers can catch Sarah's E Street Radio "Be The Boss" episode on these dates/times:

Saturday, August 30, beginning at 11:00 am ET

Sunday, August 31, beginning at 6:00 pm ET

Sarah also will be among the featured participants at The Atlantic Festival 2025 in New York City. On Thursday, September 18, she will be one of the panelists for "Redefining American Justice," which will feature The Atlantic staff writer Elizabeth Bruenig, Equal Justice Initiative founder and Executive Director Bryan Stevenson, along with Jenisha Watts and Clint Smith of The Atlantic, as well. Bruenig has written two Atlantic articles featuring insights from Sarah Gregory.
