Had a super interesting conversation about the links between trauma-informed story telling and my previous work as in #PublicDefense attorney in the #NYC #ChildWelfare system on the When Baring Witness #podcast.

“Clearly, the district attorney only believes in the First Amendment rights of white supremacists, not the rights of people who look like me,” Williamson, who is Black, said. “I heard ‘Antifa’ so many times, but not 'Proud Boys,' or ‘American Guard’ or ‘Defend East County’ or any of these people who have threatened my life, my family’s life, who are known white supremacists.”

CW: U.S. criminal system
"You have the right to an attorney"--but there may be no public defender to represent you if you can't afford a lawyer of your own; or the public defender may have aspirations to become a prosecutor, or otherwise not give a fuck; or, if they do, may be so overworked as to make no difference. And in some states, it's driving stops/tickets that fund the public defenders, so.

@anseljh So thankful for Bexar County recognizing the need! I'm trying to get the word out that there needs to be more of this kind of position in #publicdefense offices all over Texas. We're still so far behind other States (but making up ground fast). I'm a believer that data science will help us lead the way to real progress for #a2j
