DESCRIPTION:Share this event. \nAbout this Event\nCalifornia State University\, Northridge (CSUN) will host a powerful panel discussion titled “Critical Race Theory\, Ethnic Studies\, and the Criminal Legal System: A Conversation on Justice with Black Public Defenders.” This event is designed to expose students and the wider community to critical issues related to mass incarceration\, criminal legal system reform\, and advocacy for Black communities and other groups disenfranchised by systemic inequities and state-sanctioned violence. \nThe panel will feature two distinguished Black public defenders from Los Angeles\, Ericka J. Wiley and George A. Turner\, Jr.\, who are recognized for their groundbreaking work in criminal defense and community justice advocacy. Their participation in this panel will center Black perspectives on the intersection of race\, justice\, and reform in the criminal legal system\, particularly within the context of national debates surrounding Critical Race Theory and Ethnic Studies. \nEvent Highlights\n\nEricka J.

He currently leads the Homeless Mobile Unit at the Law Offices of the Los Angeles County Public Defender.\n\nThis event aims to inspire and inform students on how justice can shape their personal and professional journeys\, particularly in a political climate that demands active engagement in social and racial justice work.
