The racial inequities in our criminal justice system have been well documented, and man oh man are things fucked. Take one small step toward un-fucking them by electing Cathy Moore to the King County superior court. Moore is devoted to increasing equity in the courtroom. As a judge, she says she would set a “no tolerance policy” for the “dog whistle” language used by some prosecutors, and she believes judges and juries should go through implicit bias training. On the superior court—which handles family law, juvenile justice, and mental health cases along with violent felonies—those are key values. Moore’s opponent, Eric Newman, is an impressive lawyer with judicial experience but didn’t offer many new ideas. Vote Moore.
