Webinar on Criminal Justice Reform in Washington State
January 4, 2024, 7:00-8:30 pm
Free registration: Email camille@wacdl.org and put “criminal justice webinar” in subject line.
Inspired by our experience in the Sacred Ground program, the Church of the Holy Spirit on Vashon Island is sponsoring a Zoom webinar on criminal justice reform to fight systemic racism. Webinar speakers will explain three top-priority bills before the 2024 state legislature to help undo the racial, social, and spiritual harms of Washington state’s criminal justice system. Passage of these reform bills will help move Washington toward a penal system focused on rehabilitation, treatment, re-entry into society, and hope. Webinar speakers are:
Moderator: Cindy Arends Elsberry, Resentencing Resource Attorney for the Washington Defender Association,
Traffic Stops: Enoka Herat, ACLU attorney
Limiting Solitary Confinement: Rachael Seevers, staff attorney for Disability Rights Washington
Unstacking Gun Enhancements: David Trieweiler, criminal defense lawyer and chair of End Mass Incarceration Project
Sponsored by Church of the Holy Spirit (Episcopal) on Vashon Island, Washington
