Vice President of Advocacy LaTanya Jackson Wilson writes that community and family justice is the heart of the Shriver Center's work.
We all have an obligation to stand up for what's right.
Electronic monitoring should be eliminated as a policy tool in pretrial settings.
I believe we can build a better future. And I know that advocacy can play a key role in removing obstacles to racial and economic justice.
