Issues: Death Penalty Legal
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
* Take minor offenses like jaywalking off the books
* Promote racial and gender equity, and protect immigrant communities
* Crack down on discriminatory practices and harassment
