Join the Justice Reform Partnership to learn about criminal legal reform in 2022, and how you can get involved!
About this event
The Justice Reform Partnership (JRP) is a statewide coalition of over 50 organizations working to advance criminal legal reforms in Georgia. Each year, the JRP hosts Justice Day, an event for Georgians to learn about what's happening at the Capitol with criminal legal reform and how to get involved in building a more just Georgia. This year's Justice Day will be held virtually.
Justice Day 2022: Moving Forward with Courage will ask how we move forward with courage through policy, advocacy, and community-building in the coming year--and how we confront policies rooted in fear that have locked so many people up. We'll explore what true safety can look like without mass incarceration, the current crisis in Georgia prisons and the consequences of our current approach to crime, and how we can advance reforms both at the State Capitol and in our communities.
