The Moment
We are in the midst of a national conversation about what it will take to achieve public health and safety. Yet for decades lawmakers and the media have overlooked the perspective, voice, and expertise of those closest to mass criminalization.
The Result
The general public, makes decisions based on fear rather than reason.
