NACo’s County Officials advancing Racial Equity (CORE) in Justice Network is seeking inaugural members interested in identifying and eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in the justice system.

  • Strategies to identify and address racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal legal system
  • Examples of programs, practices and policies to advance racial equity, and
  • Suggested benchmarking and achievement metrics from example sites and fellow network participants.

County elected officials are invited to apply here by September 30th and can find more information here. Please reach out to Chelsea Thomson, Justice Program Manager, at cthomson@naco.org if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.
