CCJ's Women's Justice Commission kicked into gear with an inaugural meeting in NYC this week! Former U.S. Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch chairs the group, which includes Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzales and 14 other ideologically diverse members, led by Director Stephanie Akhter. The meeting included a visit to the Center for Justice Innovation’s Brownsville Community Justice Center, which seeks to improve public safety through a holistic approach that includes programs supporting healing and healthy development for young women and girls.
What an amazing group of individuals!!!
