JUSTICE-IMPACTED INDIVIDUALS CAN BE ASSETS TO THE COMMUNITY

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. On February 23, 2026, host Bev Livingston will speak with Latrell Stanton, a community organizer and strategist with over 12 years of experience in grassroots mobilization and policy advocacy in St. Louis. His work focuses on criminal justice reform, recorded expungement, juvenile justice and policy change. Latrell has been a key contributor in several statewide ballot initiatives, most recently the “Healthy Families” minimum wage initiative. He has served on task forces dedicated to inspecting carceral conditions and recommending policy changes to state and local officials. He has testified before the Missouri House and Senate on behalf of the Clean Slate Initiative. He is now serving as the Executive Director of EXPO StL. EXPO is an acronym for Ex-Incarcerated People Organizing.  EXPO is an organization composed of formerly incarcerated individuals devoted to prison reform, ending mass incarceration and the collateral consequences of being impacted by the system. EXPO StL is a chapter of EXPO Wisconsin which was formed in 2014 in Milwaukee. They have 3 official chapters and are in the process of adding more chapters throughout the country. Their goal is to humanize individuals currently and previously involved in the criminal justice system. EXPO believes everyone should be given a second opportunity to pursue a happy life and harmony within society. https://mcustlouis.org/expo/ On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. https://kkfi.org/listen/
