The ongoing racial disparities in our justice system are deeply troubling and demand serious attention. We need comprehensive criminal justice reform that includes ending systemic racism, implementing bias training, and pushing for equal treatment for all, regardless of their color. Additionally, a compassionate and fair immigration policy is paramount as it reflects the fundamental values of our nation — a nation built by immigrants. Incarcerating individuals seeking a better life in inhumane conditions is not the answer; instead, we must strive for meaningful reform that provides a clear path to citizenship.
