A year ago, George Floyd’s murder prompted protests in cities across the country, including Denver, and activists here want to make sure the momentum continues towards racial justice.
Last week, a community task force laid out its vision for how to improve Denver’s criminal justice system and reform the police, courtrooms, and the city’s approach to people experiencing homelessness. It’s now up to Denver’s leaders to decide whether to adopt the recommendations.
We speak with two members of the task force: Pastor Robert Davis who helped lead the group and Ru Johnson, a community activist.
