Justice Reform

More than two million people are incarcerated in the United States at any given time, the highest rate of incarceration in the world.  Mass incarceration is steeped in systemic racism. We must build racial equity into our justice systems and invest in the communities of color who have borne the brunt of mass incarceration and the war on drugs. We must end mass incarceration and reform our justice systems including ending money bail and the criminalization of poverty, reforming sentencing, creating alternatives to incarceration, banning private prisons and profiting off of mass incarceration and holding police forces accountable for police violence and racial discrimination in policing.
