Beyond the Verdict
Dear Friends,
The conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd was historic and significant. But one verdict alone will not bring about meaningful change and transformation. As one of my students so poignantly expressed “I am feeling relief, but not true joy.” There is still much work to be done, as I write in my newest piece in nj.com: “Now that the Chauvin verdict is in, let’s talk about how we change policing.”
I’d love to hear your thoughts as always, either through email or on the blog (where this will be reposted). I will be reaching out again soon. Until then, I hope you and your families are doing well.
Thank you for all that you do.
Take good care,
Jessica
