🚨 New federal law, new questions for prosecutors.

Join us for A Conversation About the TAKE IT DOWN Act, State Laws & Non-Consensual Dissemination of Intimate Images β€” part two of our series with the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ). We'll unpack how the law interacts with state and federal remedies, and what courts and prosecutors can do without criminalizing victimized youth.

We're looking for sponsorship partners! πŸŽ—οΈ

This September, the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys and the WYDM Institute are hosting What You Do Matters in Washington, DC β€” an ethical leadership training for prosecutors and justice professionals, developed by historians at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Here's where you come in. We're inviting corporate and philanthropic partners to underwrite scholarships, meals, and materials β€” ensuring the prosecutors who would benefit most can be there, regardless of their office's resources.

Why it matters: few professionals carry the responsibility prosecutors do. Drawing on how the justice system was dismantled from within during 1933–1942, this program gives them a powerful lens on ethics, discretion, and the weight of the decisions they make every day.

If your organization is interested in learning more, we'd love to explore how you might be part of it.
