Live tweeting #JusticeVotes2020 with #KamalaHarris. First Q: Why are you here? #Kamala discusses the "age old concept of redemption"." A civil society allows people a way to earn their way back." She made a conscious decision to become a prosecutor.
#KamalaHarris became a prosecutor so that she didn't have to ask permission for reforms. She created Back on Track which was unheard of at the time (remember she was elected in 2003) to reduce recidivism. #JusticeVotes2020 #Kamala2020
More on #Kamala's Back On Track which became a model program (designated by Obama/Holder DOJ) that expanded statewide when #KamalaHarris became AG.

#KamalaHarris closes by saying the room is a room of leaders. She says the criminal justice system is one of the greatest failures. It has been punitive and not about redemption and she has always been about reforming the system. #JusticeVotes2020
Amazing, substantive discussion on #CriminalJusticeReform where #KamalaHarris clearly has the most depth and accomplishments in the field. Note how DIFFERENT the priorities are from formerly incarcerated individuals vs the smears that have driven the narrative. #JusticeVotes2020
I encourage you all to get familiar with #KamalasRecord on not just #CriminalJusticeReform but the multitude of causes #KamalaHarris has championed. Here is a start...#JusticeVotes2020 #KHive #Kamala2020 #KamalaHarris2020 #UnitedForKamala
