Our EDJE* Graduates
*Education Dedicated to Justice & Equity
If I was a policy maker I would restructure our justice system. I hear a lot of people say “our justice system is broken, we need to fix it”. However, it is not broken. The justice system is doing exactly what it was put in place to do, which is oppress black and brown bodies.
I came into Dominican as a CASC minor because of the Reimagining Citizenship Program. As a young student fresh out of high school, there were a lot of things I didn’t know about. I knew that racism and poverty existed, but never explored any further. I wanted to make the effort to become a more informed person, and hopefully an advocate for both myself and for others.
