REIMAGINE JUSTICE – The Community Voice
REIMAGINE JUSTICE

September 30 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

This summit will be a gathering of advocates, community members, directly impacted individuals, policymakers, and legal experts coming together to address the harms of pretrial detention and explore pathways toward a more equitable justice system in Kansas.
Why this matters:
Every year, thousands of Kansans are held in jail simply because they cannot afford bail. This creates devastating ripple effects for families and communities.
Our data shows stark racial and economic disparities in who is impacted- making reform not only urgent, but essential for justice.
Together, we can build momentum for policy change and create solutions grounded in community voices and lived experience.
Summit Highlights:
Keynote Address: Yasmin Cader, ACLU National Deputy Legal Director & Director of the Trone Center for Justice and Equality
Featured Sessions:
Data Presentations on racial & economic disparities in the Sedgwick County jail system
Community Booths & Networking – connect with organizations and allies
Action Stations On-Site – opportunities to plug directly into advocacy efforts
Lunch Provided – so we can share not only ideas, but a meal together
Inside the System: Voices of Sedgwick County – a panel centering local experiences

Bio: We are a student-run organization that provides opportunities for students and young Democrats in Sedgwick County to actively participate in local politics. We are committed to boosting civic engagement by regularly hosting local candidates for forums and discussions and helping students find their polling place, how to register to vote, and more. By hosting these events, we get to leverage our unique position on a college campus by interacting with a diverse range of voices, including people from across the political spectrum and those who are apolitical. Ultimately, we strive to educate students on key political and social issues and empower them to become leaders who create meaningful change in their communities.
