Criminal justice reform advocates and leaders are urging VP Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, to change her campaign rhetoric on crime and focus her platform on addressing mass incarceration, according to a letter exclusively reported by The Hill.
Harris has been touting her record as an attorney general and prosecutor, framing November’s election as a contest between a “tough-on-crime” prosecutor and a convicted felon —Republican nominee, former Pres. Donald Trump.
More than 160 leaders directly impacted by incarceration — including Norris Henderson and DeAnna Hoskins, two executives of prominent criminal justice reform advocacy organizations — say that such language is harmful to Harris’ campaign and marginalizes those impacted by the criminal justice system.
