Meeting monthly, the group brings together community members who believe our justice system can be more fair and humane. The cjtf's work centers on three key goals: educating the public and faith communities about criminal justice reform, engaging legislators and other decision-makers through consistent issue-based communication, and building grassroots support that can sustain long-term change.
