Please join us for a critical and timely discussion with Karl Racine, Attorney General of the District of Columbia and President of the National Association of Attorneys General, and Gurbir Grewal, Attorney General of New Jersey, who will discuss their initiatives to reform the justice system and combat racism and extremism.  This is part of a series of events by APABA-DC highlighting progressive prosecutors and criminal justice reform.

As the top legal advisors and chief law enforcement officers of their respective jurisdictions, state attorneys general are at the intersection of law and policy, uniquely positioned to confront the most pressing issues faced by citizens. Among these issues are the disparate treatment faced by people of color, particularly black and brown individuals, when confronted by police officers and the disturbing rise in hate crimes across the country, including those targeting the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. To stem the tide of these alarming concerns, state attorneys general, such as our esteemed panelists, have stepped up to deliberate and launch progressive policies.
