Justice 20/20 Working Groups
Explore Our Work & Get Involved
The Justice 20/20 Network has three working groups: Community Safety, Decarceration and Pre-Trial & the Courts. The Network has recently added a Narrative subgroup. Across these groups, the Network assembles a diverse group of stakeholders to strategize across issue areas where people typically operate in silos to holistically address the criminal legal system in Illinois.
Community Safety
The Community Safety Working Group works together to address the policy needs of communities that have been systematically divested from and helps support a community-led vision of a thriving neighborhood. This incudes understanding what community safety looks like beyond reliance on law enforcement.
Pre-Trial & the Courts
The Pre-Trial & the Courts Working Group engages closely with other existing groups to address the challenges of court practices and procedures with the goal of increasing efficiency and transparency for those experiencing the system.
Decarceration
The Decarceration Working Group supports efforts to decarcerate Illinois prisons and address policy issues impacting people who are currently or formerly incarcerated in Illinois.
Narrative subgroup
The Policing Working Group explores opportunities to build shared goals around addressing policing practices in the state and collaborates to share information across disciplines and strategies.
