Issue Position : Justice

We must make our community as safe as possible while respecting civil liberties and due process for all. While people should be held accountable for their actions, in many cases they also deserve a real opportunity for a second chance. Howard supports the following reforms to increase every resident's access to justice:
* Reform the bail system

* Repeal the death penalty

* Treat drug use as a health issue instead of a crime

* Protect immigrant communities and tell Congress to provide a path to citizenship for our undocumented residents now

* Protect all of our residents from discrimination and harassment
