Issue Position: Criminal Justice

Issue Position

Reform Is Needed Now.
Our criminal justice system imprisons too many people for too long at too high of a cost to families, communities and taxpayers. This is particularly true for Black and Brown populations and those with economic disadvantages. Recent protests have shown us that the time for change is now. We must put an end to needless arrests and expand protections against oppressive policing and judicial sentencing. We can also increase access to support resources for marginalized communities, such as stable housing, mental health counseling, social workers, and drug and alcohol addiction treatment.
