Reform, Restoration and Revitalization
The Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation (ILBCF) and the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) will convene its second speaker series session focused on Pillar I: Criminal Justice Reform and Violence and Police Accountability (101st General Assembly HB 3653). As co-chairs and champions of this pillar, we will be joined by Senator Sims, Senator Peters and Representative Slaughter to discuss the legislative intent and desired outcomes of Pillar I, along with the political landscape and ongoing policy implementation focus. Our panelists will discuss tangible examples in their roles and working realms and practical experiences. This session will critically examine the public act and spur critical thinking about the reform to advance change, inform attendees and enable civic engagement. Professor Bitner of WIU's School of Law Enforcement and Justice Administration served as a panelist during this event. Watch here
