Despite the fact that the majority of people in prisons and jails have at least one disability, disability and Deaf organizations have not traditionally been included in efforts to advance local criminal legal reforms. Activating Change's new toolkit offers practical guidance for shifting this trend and for forming partnerships with an essential but overlooked constituency – the disability and Deaf community.
This resource is designed for anyone working to advance criminal justice reform - including community advocates and organizers, those in the nonprofit space, service providers, and people who work within the system itself.
As an SJC Strategic Ally, we are here to help sites and fellow TA providers implement these practices in your reform work. You can always get in touch with me at kkall@activatingchange.org for technical assistance and additional resources.
