Some of these organizations include: The Federal Way Black Collective, Civil Survival Project, Witness to Innocence, Choose 180, The If Project, and ACLU of Washington.

Spakers include:

• Michelle Mbekeani, Senior Legal & Policy Advisor for Justice Reform, Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office

• Stephan Thomas, Former Prosecutor
• Anita Khandelwal, Director, King County Department of Public Defense
• Jeffery Robinson, CEO and Founder, The Who We Are Project
