research volunteer opportunity

[snickfic]

taniel has been one of my main sources of info for local races across the country for a couple of years ago. A while back he started a newsletter focused largely on district attorney races, state attorney general races, and criminal justice reform, The Appeal, and I highly recommend it.

More recently, though, he's started a large-scale effort called the Justice Volunteers Team, and they're looking for volunteers. Here's the info from the sign-up form:

The Justice Collaborative (TJC) is launching a volunteer task force to hold district attorneys accountable. Working with legal & media experts at TJC, we'll be researching and amplifying important local issues related to criminal justice reform.

Research Team: This team works to collect publicly available data on important actors, policies, and trends within our criminal justice system.

Media Amplification Team: This team works to amplify critical reporting on the justice system and justice reform work around the nation.

So if you'd like to volunteer in a way that DOESN'T require making phone calls or knocking on doors or campaigning, but really gets into the meat of public policy, this might be a good outlet! NB I haven't volunteered with the org myself and can't vouch for how organized it is, etc, but like I said, I've seen Daniel around for quite a while, and he's been doing good work.
