Scenario

When partners work in the same justice reform space but see change differently

My partner and I both work in criminal justice reform but from different angles - they're a public defender and I'm with a policy organization - and we keep having these conversations where what feels like progress to me feels like naive idealism to them and I don't know how to bridge that gap anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people committed to the same cause are experiencing the tension between idealistic systemic change and daily reality in ways that are affecting their relationship.
