 There's really no issue that's been hotter, more interesting, or in some ways less well understood than criminal justice reform. We're here today to better understand why conservatives and liberals have found space to agree, at least up till now, on some measures in criminal justice reform, but also to take a look at whether or not that agreement is going to stick as we go forward. What makes the coalition even stronger is that we do believe it to be a trans-partisan one. And what we mean by that is that both sides have come to this place reasoning from their own ideological first principles. So this is not a trend that's being driven by a moderate center that's looking for compromise. This is a different kind of story about true believers on each side reaching similar conclusions. Legitimacy, you know, the sense that we have faith in the system and what have you, is a resource. It is a resource that can be cultivated, that can grow, that can flourish. It's also a resource that can wither. And I think that when we're thinking about policing and we're thinking about sentencing and what have you, you've got to think about it in that context. How are we actually deploying this scarce resource and are we actually kind of growing it or are we not? We decided to be smart about it and to prioritize passing those laws and to prioritize identifying messengers, the right messengers that would speak to what we saw as a predominantly Republican legislature. It's been a story of a lot more behind the scenes cooperation than I think a lot of folks know. The best kept secret in town on sort of how much agreement there is on these things. And now we're seeing it sort of converge into what change is possible for the federal system and it's really building on the stories and those relationships and partnerships and successes that we've seen, I think, in Second Chance and JRI. I am hopeful that this is going to be an inspiration to other groups that are working on meaningful reforms to benefit all facets of society and to separate their biases, their assumptions, to remove their own internal barriers that they place on themselves and to begin genuinely working in collaboration with other unlikely allies.
