‘Squad’ Member Pressley Offers Plan to Dismantle Criminal Justice System
Resolution would decriminalize quality of life offenses, crack down on cops

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), democratic socialist and member of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D., N.Y.) "squad," on Thursday released a comprehensive proposal to overhaul America's criminal justice system.
The plan, according to Pressley's office, is designed to fix a "racist, xenophobic, rogue, and fundamentally flawed criminal legal system," replacing it with a system that is "smaller, safer, less punitive, and more humane." The result is not a legislative proposal, but a resolution that outlines broad goals and lacks concrete details for implementation.
