Protect Your People: Challenging Mass Incarceration Together celebrated the release of the book Protect Your People: How Ordinary Families Are Using Participatory Defense to Challenge Mass Incarceration (The New Press, August 2024). The event brought together author and MacArthur “genius” fellow Raj Jayadev with local participatory defense organizers Heather Lewis, Executive Director of the Reuniting Family Bail Fund, and Justine “Taz” Moore, Director of Training at the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls. These speakers were in conversation with Brooklyn Law School Professor Jocelyn Simonson, author of the 2023 book Radical Acts of Justice: How Ordinary People are Dismantling Mass Incarceration (The New Press). The event focused on the innovative storytelling techniques of groups of people who have changed the outcomes of criminal cases by intervening collectively through “participatory defense.”
