We're not taking a position for or against any particular applicant. But we do believe whoever is chosen to become the next Hartford State's Attorney must be committed to achieving decarceration and reducing systemic racial inequities.
It's is critical that the process for choosing Connecticut's first Inspector General -- and the ultimate nominee for that role -- are committed to the value that Black lives matter, and to holding police accountable for hurting and killing people.
No matter who the next DOC Commissioner is, that person must commit to making our state stronger, safer, and healthier by embracing decarceration and racial justice policies.
