• What Can We Do To Fix This Broken System? with Senator Kim Pate

  When we talk about ‘public safety,’ we rarely talk about what actually keeps people safe: strong communities, basic needs met, and systems that heal instead of harm. Senator Kim Pate is a lifelong advocate for criminal legal reform. She’s worked both on the frontlines with women inside Canadian prisons and in the Senate advancing policy change. Kim makes a clear case for shifting resources from punishment to community and building the supports that prevent criminalisation in the first place.To learn more about some of the issues touched upon in this episode, visit www.womenbeyondwalls.org/kimFollow Women Beyond Walls:On Instagram: instagram.com/womenbeyondwallsOn Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/women-beyond-walls/On BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:x4hfl72t7456bi2w2ocajb6c
