Envisioning Justice Citywide Conversation on Incarceration: North Lawndale Open House
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Interactive Community Discussion on Police Relations
Speakers will share some brief thoughts followed by smaller discussions on how community and police relations can be strengthened and what people in the room can do to help enact the change they want to see.
BBF Family Services, with support from Urban Gateways, is directing Envisioning Justice in North Lawndale. Throughout the initiative, BBF will focus its arts and humanities programming on restorative justice and re-entry back into the community.
