Busboys and Poets #SocEnt and Capitol Innovation Forum present: Gender Bias and the Criminal Justice System
Everyone deserves access to equal opportunity and treatment under the law no matter a person's race or gender. Women, now the fastest-growing segment of the prison population, are often overlooked in the discourse on criminal justice reform and police brutality. April’s Capitol Innovation Forum: Gender Bias and Criminal Justice Reform will highlight the experiences of women incarcerated in D.C. from the perspectives of formerly incarcerated women, grassroots service providers, and policy makers. The audience will also participate in a group exercise designed to further the advocacy work of Social Solutions. The event will be recorded for the Capitol Innovation Podcast series. Register Here.
