PJLC Selected to Lead the Decriminalizing Neighborhoods National Network

At the Decriminalizing Neighborhoods conference this past July, Professor Alex Vitale of CUNY led a plenary strategy session discussing his proposal to create a network that would bring together advocates, organizers, and scholars across the nation focused on reducing state violence, community violence, and decreasing racial inequalities in the criminal justice system.

Following the conference, sponsors met to plan the implementation of Professor Vitale’s proposed national network. At the meeting, the sponsors decided to convene a steering committee of advocates from around the country to draft a mission, a set of guiding principles, and create a structure for the network. That steering committee has now had its first meeting and has unanimously decided to select the PJLC to lead the formation of the network.
