Today’s Race + Power newsletter examines how the justice system has a lasting impact on those involved. First, with the recent convictions of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden, there is a growing media narrative around justice-impacted people. However, advocates believe these narratives harm those impacted by the justice system. Next, people involved in the justice system lack stable access to healthcare. A patchwork of new laws and policies aims to provide better care options, but are they enough? Then, we revisit a report by the Prison Policy Initiative that argues how deeply intertwined the US criminal legal and family welfare systems are. Finally, join us for a live webinar on August 1 at 2:00 pm ET as NPQ celebrates Black Philanthropy Month.
