Evaluating the Criminalization of the Intersectionality of Race and Disability:

Through The Lens of Disability Justice.


Our theme for 2025 is Evaluating the Criminalization of the Intersectionality of Race and Disability: Through the Lens of Disability Justice. SFJ decided on this topic due to the climate and the call for providing public safety while showing humanity and the dignity of others. The disability justice framework critiques the interaction between law enforcement and those with disabilities and its lasting impact on the community.   


Staying true to Strategies for Justice's mission, we are utilizing the power of stories and narratives as a foundation for reform. We will explore the critical components of public safety through the lens of an anti-racist/anti-ableist society. 


Our two-tier workshops will provide insight into successful public safety through the lens of law enforcement and those who seek to decriminalize the intersections of race and disability. 


What we mean by Conscious Law Enforcement 

We intend to take the first steps to develop a consciousness of how generational trauma impacts community and law enforcement relations by learning, engaging, and building a pathway toward healing.  


What we mean by Inclusive Practices 

We intend to take the second step to develop inclusive practices inside and outside of law enforcement by documenting our consciousness and engaging in teaching, research, and legislative change.
