PJLC Co-Sponsors Conference on Decriminalizing Neighborhoods
The PJLC co-sponsored this year’s Decriminalizing Neighborhoods Conference, a three-day national virtual conference. Over 200 people attended the conference, representing over 30 organizations from nearly 20 cities. Alongside San Diego’s Pillars of the Community, the PJLC was responsible for creating the program and inviting speakers, including keynote speakers Chesa Boudin, “King Tone” Fernandez, and California State Senator Sydney Kamlager. The PJLC’s Sean Garcia-Leys also led a session on model legislation for reforming anti-gang criminal statutes. Fellow Orange County advocates from Chicanxs Unidxs spoke on the ongoing campaign to end gang injunctions in Orange County.
