Episode 14 - From Protest to Legislation: Holding Police Accountable with State Senator Eldridge
Manage episode 275841462 series 2815276
With an emphatic end to Season One, Dan and Pat stop to reflect on the life and legacy of Civil Rights Icon and "Conscience of the Congress" John Lewis. There's a quick preview of what will be different on the TDS podcast in Season Two, and Pat talks to Massachusetts State Senator Jamie Eldridge about Prison Reform and the sweeping legislation passed in the State Senate in response to the Summer of Protest for Police Accountability and in support of Black Lives Matter.
State Senator Eldridge details the bill, S2800, passed in the State Senate on July 14 and looks ahead to the State House of Representatives passing their version of the bill, which is set for a vote on July 22. Senator Eldridge explains the measures that were included in the bill: a certification (and de-certification) process for all Police in the state, accountability measures designed to prevent racial profiling, an improved expungement process for people with criminal records who have not re-offended for a period of time, and much more.
