Lancaster Stands Up is proud to be hosting town halls with community members about the future of our criminal justice system. As a community, we have a choice that we’ve never had before. We can choose the way things have always been and continue to sentence our sick neighbors. Or, we can choose courage, and reimagine a criminal justice system that upholds our values and offers a helping hand, not a prison cell. We’ll be hearing from community members about their experiences in the criminal justice system, from everyday people to business owners to families of folks impacted by our outdated and punitive system. We have invited Hobie Crystle to speak about his vision for a criminal justice system that heals us.
