Fines, Fees, and Futures: The Shadow System of Court Debt with Alejandra Davila
In this presentation, Alejandra Davila will explore court debt as a living system that perpetuates itself through interconnected cycles of punishment and profit. The presentation will be structured in three parts: Context, Cycles, and Campaigns. Alejandra will briefly trace the history of fines and fees, unpack how court debt sustains and deepens itself across communities, and explore the organizations campaigning to end fees and right-size fines. The session will close with a conversation on the shifts—cultural, political, and relational—that could make a justice system genuinely just.

It also underscores the urgency of the present moment in global history, seeking to analyze the present, imagine the potential futures before us, and build toward those futures. As we conclude the series, we celebrate the finale with wisdom from our process mentors and friends, poetry, music, art, and conversation.
