Hi John,
There’s no question: It’s an emotional day for our country. It’s been a long election cycle, and Americans in every corner of our nation are processing the results.
As with any transition of power, there is plenty of uncertainty ahead. But we do know two things for sure.
First, progress in building a more humane and effective criminal legal system is possible.
And second, The Sentencing Project will do everything in its power to advance the change we desperately need.
We know this because we’ve been at this for decades. Since opening our doors in 1986, we’ve seen all sorts of election results and partisan divides. Regardless, there have always been opportunities to work across the aisle and achieve a better criminal legal system.
Is it hard? Yes. Does it take time? Absolutely. But can we do it? Resoundingly yes.
So, as you reflect today, we’d like to leave you with this: Today’s political climate may seem more polarized than ever. And the challenges we face are indeed daunting. But as we’ve seen time and time again, we can find common ground — and build a better tomorrow.
