DISCUSSION HOSTED BY JUSTICE ACTION NETWORK, ALLIANCE FOR SAFETY AND JUSTICE, AND AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY PUTS CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AGENDA FRONT AND CENTER AS 2020 ELECTION KICKS INTO HIGH GEAR  

(Washington, DC) - Tomorrow, Alice Marie Johnson, a criminal justice reform advocate who served 21 years of a life sentence for a nonviolent drug charge before she was granted clemency by President Trump, will join Ari Fleischer for a fireside chat to share her story of redemption, and what her prime time speaking role at the RNC means for the criminal justice movement.

Ms. Johnson’s fireside chat will be preceded by a panel discussion on criminal justice reform efforts in battleground Ohio, where the legislature is considering two of the most groundbreaking legislative proposals in the country. Mark Holden of Americans for Prosperity will moderate the panel of three key Ohio lawmakers, including Sen. John Eklund, Rep. Phil Plummer, and Rep. George Lang. 

Holly Harris of Justice Action Network will host the event, which will also include commentary from Micah Derry of Americans for Prosperity-Ohio, and Shakyra Diaz of Alliance for Safety and Justice, who will share Ohio polling data and broad coalition support for justice reform in Ohio and beyond.

This virtual event is part of Justice Action Network’s new Unconventional series, which shines a weekly spotlight on criminal justice reform and the role the issue is playing in this campaign season. Every week from now until the election, JAN – the largest bipartisan organization in the country advocating for criminal justice reform on the state and federal level – will feature the leading voices in policy and politics working to transform our justice system.
