Description

A Community-Criminal Justice Conversation We the People Summit: Community-Criminal Justice Conversation (WTP) is part of U-Turn Youth Consulting’s Courageous Conversation Series. The past year has been difficult on so many levels and for so many people. Although 2020 highlighted and unmasked the disparities within the health system, financial system, educational system, but none more glaring than that of the criminal justice system. For years Black and Brown communities have long fought for a more fair and equitable system. However, often the community only sees law enforcement officers. This Courageous Conversation aims to educate and raise awareness about the totality of the criminal justice system and its overall impact on communities, and to begin to bridge the gap between community and the multi-facets of the criminal justice system. However, out of every chaotic situation comes opportunity for change. This event will engage the audience, accelerate much needed dialogue about reform, and most importantly provide tools and resources that can be utilized to facilitate impactful and lasting change. The primary target population for this Summit are social service providers, educators, law enforcement personnel, mental health providers, faith-based leaders, community members at-large, and college students majoring in Criminal Justice, Psychology, Social Work.
