Medium, the online writing platform, is hosting a series ofDigital Town Hall Meetings focused on criminal justice reform. This will be Medium’s first attempt at this type of event. “Imagine a live-blogging event, but instead of hearing from only a couple journalists, anyone on the platform can ask questions and share their own expertise."
The first meeting, discussing why people of color are disproportionately represented in the federal prison system and why some police officers abuse their powers will be held in the morning and afternoon of March 9.
The first session, hosted by Nazgol Ghandnoosh ofThe Sentencing Project and Sakira Cook of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, will be from 1 to 3 p.m. EST.
The second session will be from 4 to 6 p.m. EST, and will include Aviva Shen from Think Progress, Simone Weichselbaum from The Marshall Project, Joanna Schwartz from UCLA School of Law, John Fisher of Those People, and Carl Tennenbaum, former sergeant of the San Francisco Police Department.
