From 2014 - 2023, EQUAL worked to tackle racial #inequality in the #criminaljusticesystem. Our Independent Advisory Group has now merged with @Aretweets_
It was an honour to work with colleagues involved in @equal_cjs when I was @Clinks_Tweets to highlight and challenge racism in the criminal justice system I look forward to @AREtweets_ future work to keep this issue on the policy agenda
@EQUAL_CJS Our Chief Executive explains why we've made the move, and our renewed emphasis on supporting more Black, Asian & Minority-led grassroots organisations carry out their work tackling racism in the #criminaljusticesystem.
