2017 has already been a landmark year for reforming Oregon’s criminal justice system. With the support of thousands of ACLU members and in partnership with others — including the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police and the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association — we passed laws to help end law enforcement profiling, reduce unreasonably harsh penalties for simple possession of drugs, slow the expansion of our prison population and make our grand jury system more transparent and accountable.

 

It’s a new day and a new political landscape! We are building momentum and are far from done. Our new campaign, They Report to You, is designed to make our criminal justice system more accountable to everyday people — and redefine what accountability in our criminal justice system means.
