daily dose 719: Criminal Justice

In order to reduce crime and improve public safety, we must ensure our communities are connected and have opportunities for all to thrive. Being involved in the criminal justice system makes it challenging to do either of things but despite the challenges Southeast Colorado Springs residents Juaquin Mobley and Estevan Medina have found ways to provide the opportunities and connections through the Transforming Safety Grant Program.

"I think collectively, we have to get together to come up with an empowerment plan for our community and take that plan to the state and local politicians and work with them to bring resources to our community, to bring change, but we have to work together collectively and we definitely need to start doing it now. " - Juaquin Mobley, Vice President, Community Works
