SUMMARY:Beyond the Courtroom: Public Defenders and Our Value to Our Community
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nPublic defender\, Partners for Justice co-founder\, and author Emily Galvin Almanza joins NAPD for a conversation about who we are\, and the incredible value we hold as a community. How are public defenders impacting public safety? What role do we play in helping lower public health costs or increasing the chances that a neighborhood will thrive? How are public defenders innovating around the country—and how are they getting the resources to do it? In this fireside chat\, Emily will discuss the national landscape of defense innovation and what works when it comes to increasing both our resources and our impact. \nPresenter Bio:\nEmily Galvin Almanza is the co-founder and executive director of Partners\nfor Justice\, a nonprofit creating a new collaborative model designed to\nempower public defenders nationwide.
