John, my work to end cash bail officially started about seven years ago. And in some ways, I feel like I was meant to do this work.
I have my own experiences to inform the way I approach criminal justice reform – I learned a lot from how my biological mother, a woman suffering from drug addiction, was treated and what my adoptive father did for work as a civil rights attorney who's spoken to the Supreme Court about illegal searches and seizures.
John, taking on this issue was something that was really personal to me.
