Justice Is The Next Normal Virtual Town Hall

Join us as our panel of advocates, health and justice experts, and researchers put this moment into historical context, discuss the new social contract for health and safety emerging across the country, and consider how to usher in a new and lasting era of safety and justice. Hosted by the Square One Project.
