The stark racial and ethnic disparities in our criminal legal system are well-known. The system has struggled to deliver equal justice, but change is possible thanks to the dedicated people in our field and those most impacted who share their experiences and expertise with us. The criminal justice system can provide better outcomes, leading to safe, thriving communities.
With everything we celebrate this month — Pride, Father’s Day, and Juneteenth — this is the perfect time to talk about how we can make transformative, systemic change to advance more effective, equitable justice.
