Criminal justice reform committee
In 2017, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez made history by becoming the first Latino to serve as a DA in New York State. Now, he hopes to make history again, in a new way. His newest initiative to improve the criminal justice system is called Justice 2020. Gonzalez has assembled a committee of 63 members who will give him recommendations for reform. The committee is made up of criminal justice experts, police officers, formerly incarcerated individuals, and clergy, among other community leaders.
