Wildest Dreams in partnership with The Juror Project invites you to a special
two-day community expose' that brings together various stakeholders to discuss
the critical role of jury duty in our justice system. This event is designed to
raise awareness about the importance of serving on a jury, especially for those
with marginalized identities who are disproportionately targeted by the
criminal legal system. Jury duty is not
just a civic responsibility; it’s a powerful tool for ensuring fairness and
justice. As community members, our participation in juries is vital to
safeguarding the rights of those who are most vulnerable to systemic biases. By
serving on a jury, you can influence outcomes and help create a more equitable
legal process.
