Reform Without Fear with J.P. Morrell
Manage episode 298396412 series 2956199
Lynda Woolard hosts Jean-Paul “J.P.” Morrell, self-described “former legislator, current lawyer, comic nerd and dad,” for a discussion on his role in ending the discriminatory practice of non-unanimous juries in Louisiana. J.P. walks us through the legislative efforts and messaging discipline that were required to get Constitutional Amendment 2 on the ballot in 2018. This, in turn, launched the Unanimous Juries Coalition, which created a network and a model that shows how we can win on progressive issues in Louisiana.
