Holding Sheriffs Accountable w/ Amaris Leon and Amber Walker

We are joined in this episode by two leaders at Sheriff Accountability Action, an organization devoted to building power to curb the harms of the more than 3,000 sheriff’s offices across the country. My guests include Deputy Director Amber Walker and Director of Local Campaigns and Advocacy Amaris Leon. We’ll explore what work the organization is doing to reduce the harm of the carceral system and build a foundation for real safety.
