[quote=Anonymous]The Council is clear re: their goals and ideology, over and over. They paused this briefly due to media attention but will ram it through in due time, despite the objections of other members of the Sentencing Commission, the lack of any representatives advocation for victims and the lack of any relevant expertise. There is already a decarceral representative from the same NGO, The Sentencing Project, but hey.

DC Justice Lab is a huge driver of the status quo, the ED took credit for writing 4 different bills for the Council. Not lobbied on, wrote. Including the crime bill struck down by Congress/Biden a year ago. Just like it's a small number of people committing most violent crime, same is true of a small number of activists (funded by dark undisclosed $) who seem to control the Council, literally writing their legislation. As cities on the West Coast have stepped back from some of these ideologies and policies, they have doubled down in DC, as we have seen with the recent Sentencing Commission nominee. The icons of NGOs likely represent a small number of people across all of them, but they have a very disproportionate impact on our safety.
