Justice 20/20 gathers those seeking to change the criminal legal system from various positionalities and vantages, using different strategies and tactics.  Justice 2020 is designed to serve as a vehicle to collaborate, share information and potential opportunities, build shared narratives, and strategies about how to achieve common goals by coalescing power.

During our Fall J20/20 convening, we launched working groups composed of the attendees with a shared interest in collaborating around specific areas of the criminal legal system on a continuous basis. Those areas were: Safe and Thriving Communities, Policing, Pre-trial & the Courts, Incarceration, and Post-release & Re-entry.
The hope of these working groups is that they will include a diverse group of stakeholders coming together to strategize across issue areas where people typically operate in silos in order to holistically address the criminal legal system.

The working groups will accomplish this by:​
Identifying shared goals​
Exploring opportunities for collaboration​
           To coalesce power around our shared goals​
           To leverage that shared power in furtherance of our shared goals​
           To identify and defeat negative developments or potential barriers to our shared goals
Sharing relevant information​
Educating across disciplines and issue areas​
Building shared narratives​
Welcoming those interested in engaging in changing the criminal legal system and building leadership capacity​

Working groups will meet on a monthly basis or as the work requires.​ And each group will establish its own frameworks for work, communication, and engagement, but will work to create an equitable workload and decision-making process for all participants.
