In episode 16, the “Our Voice” podcast welcomes Monique Worrell – State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court for the State of Florida. As the second African American ever elected to the position, and as a person with a loved one who has been impacted by the criminal legal system, State Attorney Worrell has made it her mission to achieve equity and to move our system toward justice. Hosts Desmond Meade and Neil Volz sit down with our esteemed guest to talk about her background, how she and FRRC partnered to create a winning campaign for the office of State Attorney, and what her office is doing to reduce over-policing and mass incarceration in underserved communities.
