    Vote Like You Mean It: Criminal Justice Reform

    Vote Like You Mean It: Criminal Justice Reform

    🚨 ONE WEEK LEFT 🚨

    In the final episode of Woke & Broke's election-focused series, Ardyst and Gaby share both Joe Biden and Donald Trump's stance on criminal justice. Racial tensions have risen exponentially and we have experienced a civil rights movement since the murders of Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, George Floyd and so many others at the hands of law enforcement. The justice system as a whole — from policing, drug sentencing, cash bail, prisons and rehabilitation — needs an overhaul of change. During a time of so much distrust and unrest, which candidate is going to be able to address the issues at hand and move this country forward to make it a just, fair and safe place for all?
