"I was in the field of education for four and a half years and did what I could on that end, but then I saw an opportunity to help people on the other end---those who were entering the criminal justice system. The timing was right, and I decided to become part of the Just City team. I wanted to do something more directly to change policies and mindsets; it was time to advocate for reform of the justice system. A just city is one in which people have the opportunity to have their day in court."

From the website:
  • Just City is an independent, non-profit organization inspired by the work of the Shelby County Public Defender's Office. Visit them at www.defendshelbyco.org.
  • Just City was founded in 2015 by a group of activists, attorneys, and civic leaders who saw the need for a powerful, independent voice to support the individuals, children, and families who are, or have been in contact with, the criminal justice system in the Mid-South. We advocate for strong, consistent adult and children's right to counsel policies and accelerate community-driven solutions to the problems presented by the criminal justice system.
