Join me in this first in the Justice for All; The View From Here episodes as Asst. Public Defender Abigail Thibeault shares her experiences as a public defender and explains how she came to decide this work was for her.  We discuss racism, and racial inequalities in a justice system that as Abbey puts it, "feeds itself".  At this moment when so many are screaming for long-overdue justice, it is powerful to sit with someone who is doing that work and feeling that frustration every day.  Disclaimer: We don't solve the problem of racial inequality.  We don't even come close, but these are the types of important and sometimes awkward and uncomfortable conversations that must be had in order to effect real systemic change in the minds and hearts in not only all of us but of those in power.  We share our opinions and they are just that.  Our intentions are purely for good and aimed at keeping the light shone on this topic that needs, demands, and deserves all of our attention.
