The Juror Project

Juries lack diversity. We're working to change that by getting people excited about jury duty and understanding the power they have to improve the system.

@NosteponSnekLA @Maldonado_CB This is that guy. Two thoughts: 1) It seems ironic that a state who doesn’t like the federal government telling it what to do has no problem telling a municipal government what to do. 2) It might be time for a conversation regarding what policies are local versus national.

Some of us are very critical of the news of Sha'Carri Richardson's positive cannabis test. (Marijuana is a racist term). Cannabis enforcement began in the United States with this guy. He's why some people think weed is bad.

@PrisonPolicy Make it make sense?! Thanks for highlighting this other form of disenfranchisement.

NEW 50-STATE REPORT:

Every state forbids at least some people with criminal records from serving on juries. Result? At least 20 million people are automatically excluded, and juries are whitewashed as a result - making criminal trials even less fair.

If you read one outrage today – read this! Our immigration unit is fighting for a young man that received a gang tattoo from a government informant, that very tattoo will get him killed if deported. That same tattoo is being used to get him removed from this country. #Outrageous

@RachelGassert @2020fight Thanks, Rachel. This poll is a reminder of the narrative we’re working to change. @2020fight we have a jury duty unit plan already put together if interested.

Tonight was the 1st part of one of my favorite events of the year. The Dillard Mock Trial Team squared off against an all star team of practicing attorneys. Where else can an 18 year old freshman match wits with a trial lawyer? @JurorProject
