On this 4th of July we acknowledge the gap between our nation’s ideals and the racism that pervades our criminal legal system. While we create new polices, expand language access, and end the death penalty in San Francisco, we continue to fight for our ideals.
Actually - it’s very much about the criminal justice system in America; among many other things. July 4th is a celebration of independence from Britain - orchestrated by a bunch of white, slave owning men who didn’t want to pay their taxes without representation in government.
