Working Future: The Backstory | JLUSA

In the 1980’s, Reagan’s “War on Drugs” put Crime in the driver seat of American politics.
Tough on crime laws then came in the Clinton era, spurred on by politicians like then-Senator Joe Biden. Black and Latinx communities were hit the hardest; and the state of Michigan was no exception.

There is a lot of conversation about ending mass incarceration, but almost all of it is focused on changing how we respond to non-violent and low-level crimes. The problem is that more than half of people in state prison are incarcerated for violent crimes, so we will only end mass incarceration if we deal with the question of violence.  

This Issue Time conversation will deal with the question of violence, and will discuss whether mass incarceration actually makes us safer and what else could make us safe instead.

ASK OUR PANELISTS A QUESTION!

Danielle Sered envisioned, launched, and directs Common Justice. She leads the project’s efforts, locally rooted in Brooklyn but national in scope, to develop and advance practical and groundbreaking solutions to violence that advance racial equity, meet the needs of those harmed, and do not rely on incarceration.

Fatimah Loren Muhammad is the Director of Equal Justice USA's Trauma Advocacy Initiative, which, in its pilot stage hosts weekly, half-day collaborative workshops bringing over 250 members of the Newark Police Department together with African American community leaders and public health practitioners to discuss issues of race, trauma, violence, policing, and mass incarceration. She is a Senior Fellow at Humanity in Action and a recipient the Leeway Foundation 2010 Social Transformation Award. 

Ryan King is a senior fellow in the Justice Policy Center at the Urban Institute, where he works on sentencing and corrections issues with a focus on mass incarceration. His objective is to produce high-quality empirical research on the impact of sentencing and corrections policies at the state and federal level; and to work with policymakers, practitioners, and community advocates to identify strategies that assist in the pursuit of a fair, effective, and rational criminal justice system.

Glenn E. Martin, is the President and Founder of JustLeadershipUSA (JLUSA), an organization dedicated to cutting the U.S. correctional population in half by 2030.

Our panelists will begin answering your questions on Monday April 17th.

week 6

hello! this week you find me sitting in the office making lists and packing things.

to say that this week has been hectic would be an understatement. as the team prepares for an emerging leaders training in north carolina, my week has been jam packed with calls to leaders to confirm their attendance, packing and mailing things to charlotte, and furiously double checking that we have the right amount of everything so that the day of the training the team members attending to not have to go to their wits’ end because something is missing. 

this week has taught me a lot about preparing for things in advance and how to run a well oiled machine so that nothing is missing and things run as smoothly as humanly possible. this is for certain a skill that i will be applying to my day to day, especially in academia where i always have future projects and deadlines that all require my best. this planning in advance and ensuring everything is in pristine condition is certainly a skill i had but had not honed so, as always, i am grateful that jlusa has given me this opportunity to once again better myself.

in all honesty, i am super sad that field work term is coming to an end and that i will not be working in an office where morale is so high and the goal is something the united states need, but i know that this will not be my last encounter with justleadershipusa and that the people i’ve been working with i will stay in contact with because they’re awesome.

see you next week for my last weekly update!

week 2

hello! hope you’re not soaking wet as i am right now- it’s currently raining in new york but it’s finally getting warmer!

this week at my internship things really picked up in preparation for the Leading with Conviction advanced leadership training. from moving boxes to creating name tags to a lot of phone meetings, things are definitively moving at a faster pace and i’m excited! this has taught me a lot about multi-tasking since i’m also working under membership reading membership forms and making sure that everything is logged in correctly. 

working at jlusa so far has taught me about the kind of work environment i want to work in- everybody is so helpful and energetic i for sure want to work in an open concept office where things are always fun and exciting and the support system is wonderful.

working for jlusa has also made me question what i study and how i study it, seeing as within jlusa there are different ways to deal with a presented problem and i feel like that is something that i can apply to my current studies -- there are always different ways to look at things and i feel like i sometimes forget about other options so jlusa is definitively teaching me how to be aware of that and turn that into a positive thing!

that is all for now, folks! see you next week and pray for warmer weather for me, will you?
