In the wake of the 2026 midterm elections, what comes next for criminal justice reform in America? Following a screening of clips from the new PBS documentary series, Crime and Punishment in America, join us for a conversation on how history shapes current debates over crime, punishment, and public safety, and where advocates on the left and right see opportunities for progress. What do the election results mean for reform at the state and federal levels? Where does bipartisan common ground endure, and where are the deepest disagreements? And what concrete steps can advance safety, fairness, dignity, and accountability in the years ahead?
