What is Participatory Defense?

Participatory Defense (PD) was developed by families of Silicon Valley's De-Bug's Albert Cobarrubias Justice Project. It is a community organizing model for people facing charges, their families, and communities to impact the outcome of cases and transform the landscape of power in the court system.

These hubs are part of the national Participatory Defense network leading the movement to empower families to advocate for their loved ones who have been entangled in the criminal legal system.
