Election Day reminds us that who we elect matters—and so do the laws they make. In 2020, the California Legislature passed the Racial Justice Act, creating new ways to challenge racial bias in our criminal legal system. Five years later, that legislation is making a difference in courtrooms across California, including right here in Pasadena. Elizabeth Lashley Haynes will show us how racial bias operates within our legal system, and how attorneys are putting this law to work in the pursuit of racial justice.
Join us in the Sweetland Hall at 9:00 a.m. on Sundays as we gather for conversation and reflection. We have a great line up of presenters focused on what it means to walk in love in these times of polarization and challenge.
All are welcome for this opportunity to connect, reflect and explore together in person, with recordings available for viewing on our YouTube Channel “on demand” the week following the presentation.
