Last week, New Profit's Founder and CEO Vanessa Kirsch published a blog post reflecting on inequality of justice and opportunity in America and unveiling our plans to launch a major initiative targeting criminal justice reform. In the piece, she said:
"We believe that a moment of unprecedented opportunity has arrived...We can see it in disparate pockets of momentum that together add up to something real and potentially transformative. "
We were amazed at the energy and the quality of the responses we received on this blog and across social media. Here are some of our favorites:
