Panel discussion followed by small-group conversations

Poverty, criminal justice and race… How are these issues affecting residents of Connecticut? How can we create a criminal justice system that works fairly for all? What can we do to make change, as individuals and families, in our cities and towns, and as a state? A panel of speakers – including author Peter Edelman talking about his book Not a Crime to Be Poor – will ground us in the issues we are facing.
