Almost six months after the death of George Floyd, criminal justice reform advocates are cheering multiple victories in the 2020 election. And it worked,” said Maurice Mitchell, a Movement for Black Lives strategist and national director of the Working Families Party. He pointed to a ballot measure in Los Angeles County that reallocates money to services to keep people out of jail.

And Black people are far more likely to be pulled over, searched and or killed by police, studies of criminal justice data have repeatedly shown.
