Scenario

When policy teams face moral conflicts over incremental criminal justice reforms

Our policy team is debating whether to support a bail reform bill that would help some people but leave the broader system intact, and it's exposing deep divisions about whether we're selling out or being strategic. Some members think any engagement with the existing system legitimizes it, while others argue that people are suffering right now and we can't wait for perfect solutions.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
