Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Edwith Theogene, Executive Director and Organizing Director for Generation Progress.
During today's episode, they discuss the ways in which our criminal justice system harms women and families, and particularly women and families of color. Especially during this pandemic, which is shedding on just how vulnerable incarcerated people are during emergencies and crises, finding ways to change this system—which is firmly rooted in white supremacy—has never been more important.
To delve further into this issue, and discuss why it is critical to approach criminal justice reform with a reproductive justice lens—Brett and Edwith are joined by two guests with substantial expertise in this area. They are Arissa Hall, the Project Director at National Bail Out, and Yveka Pierre, litigation counsel at If/When/How.
