Part II: Wednesday, Aug 31 | 3 - 5 pm (Restorative Justice & Coalition Building)
Throughout US history, the criminal legal system has been a tool for racial violence and oppression of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, poor, LGBQ and Transgender communities as a form of social control. Prosecutors are some of the most powerful actors and therefore must act to stop racialized policies and procedures that gratuitously criminalize marginalized communities.
