Commons, a community-driven data tool, is now available in East Baton Rouge Parish!
The tool, created by Measures for Justice in partnership with the East Baton Rouge Community Advisory Board & the District Attorney's Office, makes the parish’s criminal justice data accessible for all.
The Louis A. Berry Institute for Civil Rights and Justice at Southern University Law Center is proud to be a supporting partner of this work. Earlier this year, we hosted MFJ’s Founder, Amy Bach, for an Author Talk event, and are looking forward to announcing the details of our Commons Community Launch Event very soon.
In the meantime, check out Commons for yourself and explore our criminal justice system by visiting our homepage or https://app.measuresforjustice.org/commons/east-baton-rouge-da
