MPR News: Conversations aim for criminal justice reform, Black healing
George Floyd’s killing last year sparked a renewed push to reform Minnesota’s criminal justice system.
Joi Lewis and Brittany Lewis are leading an effort called “Time of Reckoning,” a series of community engagement sessions that will culminate in a policy roundtable in June on criminal justice reform.
The effort, backed by a group of Minnesota Black community leaders, aims to center Black voices and conduct the sessions in a way that’s also healing.
