Summary

How do we change the criminal legal system for the better? We do it standing with, beside, and behind folks like Ilham Askia and Sarah Higinbotham as they charge up the hill and fight battles that we can't afford to lose. We do it by supporting the public defenders who represent 80% of the people fighting for freedom in the system. We do it by providing powerful education to system impacted folks. We do it by exposing the problems, operating in empathy, and remaining diligent to the cause. We do it together and expectant of positive change. Today's hyper-dynamic episode was designed by While Black friend and past guest Winfield Murray and features two women dedicated to the space of criminal legal reform. TRUST ME when I say they laid this episode out. You will be made better by listening.... it was so good we decided to make it a two part episode. Please listen closely to Ilham Askia of Gideons Promise and Sarah Higinbotham of Common Good Atlanta as they lay out perspectives, problems, and solutions that will challenge your ability to remain idle.
