Participatory Defense in the South Bay w/ Raj Jayadev
The courthouse is an important part of every story of mass incarceration in America and, too often, it is a place of powerlessness for those facing criminal charges, their families, and their communities. But the courthouse can also be an important site of resistance, a place where Americans affected by incarceration can become agents of change—even though they are not lawyers or judges. Our guest is author of a new book by Silicon Valley De-bug co-founder Raj Jayadev. We talk about his story and the primary subject matter in his book – participatory defense, the incredibly effective community organizing model that leads to better outcomes for criminal cases, shifting power in courtrooms along the way.
