👏 great step forward for these nine communities! Locking up kids is never the answer. Time to pursue alternative, proven policy solutions.Time to put the wellbeing of children first. Find out more about our evidence-based framework for child wellbeing at www.aracy.org.au
Huge news! We've announced nine communities that will benefit from the largest commitment to justice reinvestment ever delivered by the commonwealth. Justice reinvestment is a long-term, community-led approach to preventing crime, improving community safety and reducing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults and children in custody. It empowers First Nations communities and leaders to develop local solutions to divert people who are at risk away from the criminal justice system. We're committed to working in partnership with communities, because we know lasting change needs to be community-led. This is just one way that we're delivering practical action that makes a difference in Indigenous communities.

Great insights were shared at the FOCUS St. Louis event! Former St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, Former St. Louis County Council Member Colleen Wasinger, and Former President & CEO of Bi-State Development and Mayor of Chesterfield John Nations provided valuable nuggets on finding common ground through civil discourse. Here are some key takeaways from the event: 1. Building relationships is crucial to achieving success. 2. Working across party lines is necessary for progress. 3. Disagreements can be productive, as long as they are respectful. 4. Avoid seeking attention in a negative way. 5. Politics should be about the business of people, not outside agendas. 6. Our young people need more ways to connect and get involved. It was good to hear the discussion on how we can improve civil discourse in our community. Thank you to Yemi A. Akande-Bartsch, Ph.D and Jody Sowell Sowell for facilitating these important discussions. Let's continue to strive for civil discourse and finding common ground. #FOCUSStLouis #CivilDiscourse #CommunityDiscussions

My latest column for Police1: a new fellowship program wants more applications from rural law enforcement and corrections officers. You know how your area is damaged by opiate abuse, and you probably have at least one idea for fixing that. The Reaching Rural Initiative exists to help you make that concept a reality.
Thank you Kathleen Dias and Police1 for covering the Reaching Rural Initiative. Reaching Rural Fellow Denise Waff of Prince George County, Virginia did an excellent job sharing the story of how the program has helped her community. https://lnkd.in/e25xZSAA

I'm proud of Houston for leading the way. Kelly Young & I sit on Midtown Management's Board together. We had a recent conversation about what Houston's unhoused population needs & it boils down to 3 things: 1️⃣ Affordable Housing - like REAL affordable housing 🏘 2️⃣ Getting Drug Dealers off the streets - they target the unhoused which makes getting them off the street EVEN harder. 3️⃣ Funding - we had a ton funding via COVID, but that's now GONE. It costs ~$1200/mo to house someone, there are less than 5,000 unhoused folks in HTX, that's ~$72M annually...That's NOT a huge number. AND I'm going to add a Number 4️⃣ Talk to everyBODY about this | REGISTER to Vote | Vote | Write a letter to your local city council person | DO Something - don't think it's not your problem too. https://lnkd.in/gpX93tH6
