MPA Practitioner-in-Residence and Lecturer Carl Hamad-Lipscombe will have a conversation with Jocelyn Simonson, Brooklyn Law School professor, former public defender, and author of the book Radical Acts of Justice: How Ordinary People are Dismantling Mass Incarceration.

They will examine how ordinary people - activists and nonactivists alike - are sparking extraordinary changes in the criminal legal system through grassroots strategies such as community bail funds, participatory defense, Court Watching, and democratic budgeting, as well as some of the more prescient issues facing New Yorkers jailed at Rikers Island.

Are you passionate about social justice movements and contemporary leadership? Our #ColinPowellSchool Leader-In-Residence and MPA Professor Gara LaMarche has some great reading suggestions for you! Even if you’re not in his class, you can still learn a lot about authentic and adaptive leadership from analyzing the story, methods and experience of these 3 powerful women of color. Want to learn more about Professor LaMarche’s class (or invite him to lead your book club meeting)? DM us for his office hours! #MPA #Leadership #staceyabrams #aliciagarza #PramilaJayapal
