For all communities to thrive, we must prioritize policies that keep families together and end the inequities that systematically and disproportionately disenfranchise Black and Latino/a/x people.
Black and Latino/a/x people are overrepresented in the criminal legal system, and their children are disproportionately present in the parallel foster system. These systems marginalize low-income people, especially those of color, keep them in a cycle of poverty, and depress their lifetime economic stability.
Join the Shriver Center on Poverty Law for a free webinar to explore ways to keep communities safe and families together by advocating for policies that reduce the states' reliance on jails and prisons.
