Please join us for the seventh installment in our monthly Antiracism in Practice series as we embark on a four-month thematic arc that focuses on structural racism within the American criminal justice system.
On Monday, December 28th, we will begin this discussion by exploring differential policing in communities of color, including the implications of the "broken windows" policy theory, the enduring legacy of the 1994 crime bill (most notable as the origin of the term "superpredators"), and what it might mean when we say 'defund the police.'
Future (monthly) sessions will build on this conversation and expand into the reality of racism within prosecution (January 25th), sentencing (February 22nd), and life inside the prison walls itself (March 29th).
