The Buffalo region is the site of alarming racial disparities in criminal justice. In this workshop we will examine how systemic racism causes those disparities and learn about advocacy efforts to eliminate them, with special emphasis on issues of police oversight, law enforcement assisted diversion, and public safety alternatives to policing.

Presenters from Partnership for the Public Good will be Just Recovery Coordinator Tanvier Peart and Policy Fellows Miles Gresham and Sam Magavern.
