This is a story that needs to be read by millions.\\u201d\\u2014Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy\\n\\nLarry Krasner spent thirty years learning about America\\u2019s carceral system as a civil rights and criminal defense lawyer in Philadelphia, working to get some kind of justice for his clients in a broken system, before deciding that the way to truly transform the system was to get inside of it. So he launched an unlikely campaign to become the district attorney of Philadelphia, a city known for its long line of notorious \\u201ctough on crime\\u201d DAs who had turned Philly into a city with one of the highest rates of incarceration in the country. Despite long odds and derisive opposition from the police union and other forces of the status quo, Krasner laid out a simple case for radical reform and won the November 2017 general election by a margin of nearly 50 percent.\\n\\nFor the People is not just a story about Krasner\\u2019s remarkable early life as a defense lawyer and his innovative grassroots campaign; it\\u2019s also a larger exploration of how power and injustice conspired to create a carceral state unprecedented in the world. Readers follow Krasner\\u2019s lifelong journey through the streets and courtrooms and election precincts of one American city all the way up to his swearing-in ceremony to see how our system of injustice was built\\u2014and how we might dismantle it.\\n\\nIn the tradition of powerful critiques of the criminal justice system, from Bryan Stevenson\\u2019s Just Mercy to Michelle Alexander\\u2019s The New Jim Crow, For the People makes the compelling case that transforming criminal justice is the most important civil rights movement of our time and can only be achieved if we\\u2019re willing to fight for the power to make a change."\\u2606\\u2606(end repost))\\u2606\\u2606Check out Playstore audiobook, "For the people: a story of justice," by Larry Krasner, Attorney General PA. \\u2606\\u2606For Educational and inspirational materials.
