这是我最喜欢的抗议上衣，
00:15
It says, "Protect your people."

2206
上面写着，“保护你的人民”。
00:18
We made it in the basement
of our community center.

它是在我们社区中心
的地下室里制作的。
的地下室里制作的。
00:21
I've worn it at rallies,

9420
2324
我在所有针对警察暴力的集会，
00:23
at protests and marches,
4
11768
3032
抗议，游行
00:26
at candlelight vigils
5
14824
1817
和那些失去心爱之人的
00:28
with families who have lost loved ones
to police violence.
to police violence.
6
16665
3254
烛光守夜活动中都穿着它。
00:32
I've seen how this ethic
of community organizing
of community organizing
7
20674
3714
我们已经看见了，
这种社区组织的热情
这种社区组织的热情
00:36
has been able to change
arresting practices,
arresting practices,
8
24412
2896
能够改变逮捕行为，
00:39
hold individual officers accountable
9
27332
3102
让各个官员全体更有责任感，
00:42
and allow families
to feel strong and supported
to feel strong and supported
10
30458
3357
并且让家属在他们生命中
最黑暗的时刻
最黑暗的时刻
00:45
in the darkest moments of their lives.
11
33839
2169
感受到支持与力量。
00:49
But when a family would come to our center
12
37022
2690
但是当一位家属来到我们中心
00:51
and say, "My loved one
got arrested, what can we do?"
got arrested, what can we do?"
13
39736
4135
问，“我爱的人被逮捕了，
我们能做什么？”
我们能做什么？”
00:55
we didn't know how to translate
14
43895
2016
我们不知道如何
00:57
the power of community organizing
that we saw on the streets
that we saw on the streets
15
45935
3658
将我们在街头看到的社区组织力量
01:01
into the courts.
16
49617
1150
转移到法庭上去。
01:03
We figured we're not lawyers,
17
51652
1672
我们意识到因为我们不是律师，
01:05
and so that's not our arena
to make change.
to make change.
18
53348
2933
那不是我们
能去创造改变的领域。
能去创造改变的领域。
01:09
And so despite our belief
in collective action,
in collective action,
19
57017
3167
所以，尽管我们相信
集体行动的力量，
集体行动的力量，
01:12
we would allow people that we cared about
20
60208
2992
我们还是只能让我们在乎的人，
01:15
to go to court alone.
21
63224
2023
独自去面对法庭。
01:18
Nine out of ten times --
and this is true nationally --
and this is true nationally --
22
66335
4135
全国范围都是如此
——十有八九
——十有八九
01:22
they couldn't afford their own attorney,
23
70494
1916
他们没法负担律师费，
01:24
and so they'd have a public defender,
who is doing heroic work,
who is doing heroic work,
24
72434
3873
所以他们只能用公设辩护人，
这些律师做着伟大的工作，
这些律师做着伟大的工作，
01:28
but was often under-resourced
25
76331
2795
但是经常资源不足，
01:31
and stretched bare with too many cases.
26
79150
2729
而且被过多的案子搞得分身乏术。
01:33
They would face prosecutors
aiming for high conviction rates,
aiming for high conviction rates,
27
81903
3928
他们要面对的法官，
瞄准的目标往往是高定罪率、
瞄准的目标往往是高定罪率、
01:37
mandatory minimum sentences
28
85855
2373
强制最低刑罚，
01:40
and racial bias baked
into every stage of the process.
into every stage of the process.
29
88252
3872
以及在受检过程中
每个阶段里都少不了种族偏见。
每个阶段里都少不了种族偏见。
01:46
And so, facing those odds,
30
94100
2071
所以，面对这些干扰性因素，
01:48
stripped away from the power of community,
31
96195
3222
社区的力量再次被夺走，
01:51
unsure how to navigate the courts,
32
99441
2516
不确定要如何在法庭上辩护，
01:53
over 90 percent of people that face
a criminal charge in this country
a criminal charge in this country
33
101981
3798
这个国家里面对
犯罪指控的人中有超过九成
犯罪指控的人中有超过九成
01:57
will take a plea deal.
34
105803
1466
会接受认罪协议。
02:00
Meaning, they'll never have
their fabled day in court
their fabled day in court
35
108096
3421
意思是，他们永远无法在法庭上有
02:03
that we talk about
in television shows and in movies.
in television shows and in movies.
36
111541
3333
像我们在电视和电影里
展示的那种传奇逆袭的一天。
展示的那种传奇逆袭的一天。
02:07
And this is the untold part of the story
of mass incarceration in America --
of mass incarceration in America --
37
115807
5945
这也是美国大量入狱事件中
不为人知的一部分——
不为人知的一部分——
02:13
how we became
the largest jailer in the world.
the largest jailer in the world.
38
121776
3148
这导致了我们有世界上
最庞大的监狱系统。
最庞大的监狱系统。
02:17
Over two million people
currently incarcerated in this country.
currently incarcerated in this country.
39
125623
3682
在这个国家有超过
两百万的人正在被关押。
两百万的人正在被关押。
02:21
And projections that say
40
129726
1595
而且据推测，
02:23
one out of three black men
will see the inside of a prison cell
will see the inside of a prison cell
41
131345
4017
三个黑人中就会有一个人
02:27
at some point in their life
on this trajectory.
on this trajectory.
42
135386
3159
将在人生的某个时刻
被送进监狱里。
被送进监狱里。
02:32
But we have a solution.
43
140546
1533
但是我们有应对措施。
02:34
We decided to be irreverent to this idea
44
142928
3056
我们决心反抗这种
02:38
that only lawyers can impact the courts.
45
146008
3094
只有律师才能影响法庭的观点。
02:41
And to penetrate the judicial system
46
149587
2403
为了让有力量，有智慧
和聪明才智的社区组织
和聪明才智的社区组织
02:44
with the power, intellect and ingenuity
of community organizing.
of community organizing.
47
152014
5483
渗透进入司法系统。
02:50
We call the approach
"participatory defense."
"participatory defense."
48
158569
2934
我们称这种方式为
“参与式辩护”。
“参与式辩护”。
02:54
It's a methodology
for families and communities
for families and communities
49
162286
2881
这是一种为了那些
亲人正面对指控的
亲人正面对指控的
02:57
whose loved ones are facing charges,
50
165191
2292
家属和社区提出的方法，
02:59
and how they could impact
the outcome of those cases
the outcome of those cases
51
167507
2803
让他们知道要如何影响案子的结果，
03:02
and transform the landscape
of power in the courts.
of power in the courts.
52
170334
3398
并转变法庭上权力的局势。
03:06
How it works is,
53
174859
1166
大概的流程是这样的：
03:08
families whose loved ones
are facing criminal charges
are facing criminal charges
54
176049
2730
面对刑事指控者的家属
03:10
will come to a weekly meeting,
55
178803
2135
会来参加每周的会议，
03:12
and it's half support group,
56
180962
1798
它算是个半支持小组，
03:14
half strategic planning session.
57
182784
2133
半策略制定会议。
03:17
And they'll build a community
58
185823
1846
他们会形成一个团体，
03:19
out of what otherwise would be
an isolating and lonely experience.
an isolating and lonely experience.
59
187693
4240
这样他们就不需要独自面对。
03:24
And they'll sit in a circle,
60
192755
2310
他们会围坐成一个圈，
03:27
and write the names
of their loved ones on a board,
of their loved ones on a board,
61
195089
2658
把他们来到这要支持的
03:29
who they're there to support.
62
197771
1849
心爱之人的名字写在板子上。
03:31
And collectively,
63
199644
1210
然后大家一起，同心协力
03:32
the group will find out ways
to tangibly and tactfully
to tangibly and tactfully
64
200878
4136
找到能够切实并巧妙地
03:37
impact the outcome of that case.
65
205038
1994
影响案件审理结果的办法。
03:39
They'll review police reports
to find out inconsistencies;
to find out inconsistencies;
66
207569
3921
他们会审查警察报告，
来找到矛盾的地方；
来找到矛盾的地方；
03:43
they'll find areas that require
67
211514
2157
他们会找出需要辩护律师
03:45
more investigation
by the defense attorney;
by the defense attorney;
68
213695
2518
深入调查的地方；
03:48
and they'll go to court with each other,
69
216237
1919
而且互相陪同对方一起去法庭，
03:50
for the emotional support
70
218180
1984
提供情感上的支持，
03:52
but also so that the judge knows
that the person standing before them
that the person standing before them
71
220188
4381
这也能让法官知道
在他面前的这个人，
在他面前的这个人，
03:56
is part of a larger community
72
224593
1693
有一个更强大的团体
03:58
that is invested in their
well-being and success.
well-being and success.
73
226310
2879
在为他们的福祉和成功付出。
04:02
And the results have been remarkable.
74
230538
1968
而且我们的成果是非常显著的。
04:05
We've seen charges get dismissed,
75
233506
2992
我们已经看见过有指控被取消，
04:08
sentences significantly reduced,
76
236522
2825
大规模的减刑，
04:11
acquittals won at trial
77
239371
1871
成功无罪释放，
04:14
and, sometimes, it has been
literally lifesaving.
literally lifesaving.
78
242561
3267
甚至有时候撤销死刑，
拯救了一个生命。
拯救了一个生命。
04:18
Like in the case of Ramon Vasquez.
79
246450
2334
例如，拉蒙·瓦斯奎兹
（Ramon Vasquez）的案子，
（Ramon Vasquez）的案子，
04:21
Father of two, family man, truck driver
80
249235
5525
他是两个孩子的父亲，
一个卡车司机，
一个卡车司机，
04:26
and someone who was wrongfully charged
with a gang-related murder
with a gang-related murder
81
254784
3247
他被错误指控为
一个与帮派有关的杀人凶手，
一个与帮派有关的杀人凶手，
04:30
he was totally innocent of,
82
258055
1793
而他是完全无辜的，
04:31
but was facing a life sentence.
83
259872
2067
但是即将面临着无期徒刑。
04:35
Ramon's family came to those meetings
84
263172
2191
拉蒙的家人在他被逮捕和扣押后，
04:37
shortly after his arrest
and his detention,
and his detention,
85
265387
2888
很快就来参加了会议，
04:40
and they worked the model.
86
268299
1667
按照我们的方法模型工作。
04:42
And through their hard work,
87
270268
1516
通过他们的努力研究，
04:43
they found major
contradictions in the case,
contradictions in the case,
88
271808
2571
他们发现了案子中
有一个重大的矛盾，
有一个重大的矛盾，
04:47
gaping holes in the investigation.
89
275121
2532
是调查中的漏洞，
04:49
And were able to disprove
dangerous assumptions by the detectives.
dangerous assumptions by the detectives.
90
277677
4603
可以推翻警探的危险假设。
04:54
Like that the red hat that they found
when they raided his home
when they raided his home
91
282836
3829
报告上说当警察突袭他的家时，
发现的红色帽子
发现的红色帽子
04:58
somehow affiliated him
to a gang lifestyle.
to a gang lifestyle.
92
286689
3413
指证他具备帮派的特征。
05:03
Through their photos and their records,
93
291149
2849
然而通过亲属的照片和记录，
05:06
they were able to prove that the red hat
was from his son's Little League team
was from his son's Little League team
94
294022
4617
可以证明那个红色帽子其实是
来自于他儿子的少年棒球队的，
来自于他儿子的少年棒球队的，
05:10
that Ramon coached on the weekends.
95
298663
2245
而拉蒙周末给那个队当教练。
05:14
And they produced independent information
96
302107
2136
而且他们找到了客观的信息，
05:16
that proved that Ramon
was on the other side of town
was on the other side of town
97
304267
2842
可以证明拉蒙在凶案发生时，
05:19
at the time of the alleged incident,
98
307133
2349
正位于镇子的另一边，
05:21
through their phone records
99
309506
1397
证据是他们的手机记录，
05:22
and receipts from the stores
that they attended.
that they attended.
100
310927
2563
和他们去过的商店发票。
05:26
After seven long months
of hard work from the family,
of hard work from the family,
101
314593
3643
家人们努力了长达七个月，
05:30
Ramon staying strong inside jail,
102
318260
3031
拉蒙在拘留所坚强等待，
05:33
they were able
to get the charge dismissed.
to get the charge dismissed.
103
321315
2934
最终他们成功使得指控被撤销。
05:37
And they brought Ramon home
104
325053
1659
然后他们带着拉蒙回家，
05:38
to live the life that he should
have been living all along.
have been living all along.
105
326736
3119
重新过上了他本该拥有的生活。
05:42
And with each new case,
106
330260
1373
针对每一个新案子，
05:43
the families identified new ways
to flex the knowledge of the community
to flex the knowledge of the community
107
331657
4444
家属们都找了新的办法，
来灵活使用社区知识，
来灵活使用社区知识，
05:48
to have impact on the court system.
108
336125
2333
最终对法院系统产生影响。
05:51
We would go to a lot
of sentencing hearings.
of sentencing hearings.
109
339506
2817
我们会去参加很多量刑听证会。
05:54
And when we would leave
the sentencing hearing,
the sentencing hearing,
110
342347
2347
当我们离开听证会，
05:56
on the walk back to the parking lot
111
344718
1899
走向停车场时，
05:58
after someone's loved one
just got sent to prison,
just got sent to prison,
112
346641
3333
我们不太会听到那些，
06:01
the most common refrain we would hear
113
349998
2635
家属在自己的亲人被关进监狱后，
06:04
wasn't so much, "I hate that judge,"
114
352657
3126
通常会说的“我恨那个法官”，
06:07
or "I wish we had a new lawyer."
115
355807
2452
或者“我希望我们能
换一个律师。”之类的话。
换一个律师。”之类的话。
06:11
What they would say was,
116
359268
2119
他们会说的是，
06:13
"I wish they knew him like we know him."
117
361411
2666
“我希望他们能像我们那样了解他。”
06:17
And so we developed tools and vehicles
118
365188
2746
所以我们开发了工具和方法，
06:19
for families to tell the fuller story
of their loved one
of their loved one
119
367958
3000
让家属们能够更全面的
分享他们亲人的故事，
分享他们亲人的故事，
06:22
so they would be understood
as more than just a case file.
as more than just a case file.
120
370982
2901
这样他们就能够被更好地理解，
而不只是当作一个案件档案来看待。
而不只是当作一个案件档案来看待。
06:26
They started making what we call
social biography packets,
social biography packets,
121
374360
3246
他们开始制作我们所谓的
社会人物传记包，
社会人物传记包，
06:29
which is families making a compilation
of photos and certificates and letters
of photos and certificates and letters
122
377630
4547
也就是家属们整理的
照片，证书和书信，
照片，证书和书信，
06:34
that show past challenges
and hardships and accomplishments,
and hardships and accomplishments,
123
382201
3729
用来展示过去他们
经历的艰辛和成就，
经历的艰辛和成就，
06:37
and future prospects and opportunities.
124
385954
2600
以及对未来的展望和机遇。
06:41
And the social biography [packets]
were working so well in the courts,
were working so well in the courts,
125
389025
4357
这个人物传记包
在法庭上非常有用，
在法庭上非常有用，
06:45
that we evolved it
into social biography videos.
into social biography videos.
126
393406
3319
并且发展成了人物传记视频。
06:48
Ten-minute mini documentaries,
127
396749
2317
一个十分钟的小纪录片，
06:51
which were interviews
of people in their homes,
of people in their homes,
128
399090
2700
里面采访了他们的家人，
06:53
and at their churches
and at their workplace,
and at their workplace,
129
401814
2419
教堂，工作场所里的熟人，
06:56
explaining who the person was
in the backdrop of their lives.
in the backdrop of their lives.
130
404257
3233
来说明在日常生活背景下，
他是一个怎样的人。
他是一个怎样的人。
07:00
And it was a way for us to dissolve
the walls of the court temporarily.
the walls of the court temporarily.
131
408578
5111
这是我们用来暂时打破
法院这面墙的方法。
法院这面墙的方法。
07:06
And through the power of video,
132
414221
2198
通过视频的力量，
07:08
bring the judge out of the court
and into the community,
and into the community,
133
416443
4391
把法官带出法庭，走入社区。
07:12
so that they would be able to understand
the fuller context of someone's life
the fuller context of someone's life
134

One of the first social biography projects
that came out of our camp

433180
1150
由卡内尔（Carnell) 制作。
07:26
He had come to the meetings
138
434665
1293
他曾经来过我们的会议，
07:27
because he had pled
to a low-level drug charge.
to a low-level drug charge.
139
435982
2579
因为他有轻量吸毒的前科。
07:30
And after years of sobriety,
140
438585
1818
而在多年的戒毒后，
07:32
got arrested for this one
drug possession charge.

141
440427
2729
他因现在的毒品持有罪名被逮捕。
07:35
But he was facing a five-year
prison sentence
prison sentence
142
443180
2326
由于加州量刑方案，
07:37
because of the sentencing
schemes in California.

143
445530
2833
他面临着五年有期徒刑。
07:40
We knew him primarily as a dad.
144
448974
2206
我们对他的认识
主要是他父亲的身份。
主要是他父亲的身份。
07:43
He'd bring his daughters to the meetings
145
451204
1920
他会带着他的女儿们来参加会议，
07:45
and then play with them
at the park across the street.
at the park across the street.
146
453148
3088
跟她们在街对面的公园里一起玩。
07:48
And he said, "Look, I could do the time,
147
456260
2143
他说：“看，
07:50
but if I go in,
they're going to take my girls."

148
458427
2885
如果我坐牢了，
他们会带走我的女儿们。”

07:54
And so we gave him a camera

462927
1737
所以我们给了他一部照相机，
07:56
and said, "Just take pictures
of what's like being a father."
of what's like being a father."
150
464688
3265
告诉他，“把你当爸爸的样子拍下来。”
08:00
And so he took pictures
of making breakfast for his daughters
of making breakfast for his daughters
151
468758
4158
所以他拍了他为女儿们做早餐，
08:04
and taking them to school,
152
472940
1516
送她们去学校，
08:06
taking them to after-school programs
and doing homework.
and doing homework.
153
474480
2746
然后送她们去课后班做作业的照片。
08:09
And it became this photo essay
154
477863
2087
而这些照片，
08:11
that he turned in to his lawyer
who used it at the sentencing hearing.
who used it at the sentencing hearing.
155
479974
3412
在听证会时被交给了他的律师。
08:16
And that judge, who originally indicated
a five-year prison sentence,
a five-year prison sentence,
156
484077
4198
曾经考虑要给他
五年有期徒刑的法官，
五年有期徒刑的法官，
08:20
understood Carnell in a whole new way.
157
488299
2467
了解到了卡内尔新的一面。
08:23
And he converted
that five-year prison sentence
that five-year prison sentence
158
491466
3373
然后他修改了五年有期徒刑，
08:26
into a six-month outpatient program,
159
494863
3189
改成了六个月的门诊服务项目，
08:30
so that Carnell could be
with his daughters.
with his daughters.
160
498076
2563
这样卡内尔可以
跟他的女儿们在一起。
跟他的女儿们在一起。
08:32
His girls would have
a father in their life.
a father in their life.
161
500663
2111
孩子们会继续有父亲的陪伴，
08:34
And Carnell could get the treatment
that he was actually seeking.

162
502798
3683
而且卡内尔也可以
得到他需要的治疗。
得到他需要的治疗。
08:39
We have one ceremony of sorts
163
507688
3413
我们在参与性辩护中，
08:43
that we use in participatory defense.
164
511125
2436
有一个仪式。
08:45
And I told you earlier
that when families come to the meetings,
that when families come to the meetings,
165
513585
2985
我之前说过家属们来参加会议时
会把亲人的名字写在板子上。
08:48
they write the names
of their loved ones on the board.

10:39
And with all the hubs, we still use
one metric that we invented.
one metric that we invented.
204
627145
5198
在所有的项目中心，我们仍在
使用一个我们发明的指标，
使用一个我们发明的指标，
10:44
It's called time saved.
205
632676
1215
叫做"被拯救的时间"。
10:45
It's a saying that we actually
still say at weekly meetings.
still say at weekly meetings.
206
633915
2940
我们每周例会仍在提起，
10:48
And what we say when a family
comes in a meeting for the first time is:
comes in a meeting for the first time is:
207
636879
3682
而且每当家属第一次来
参加会议时，我们也会提起：
参加会议时，我们也会提起：
10:52
if you do nothing,
208
640585
2302
如果你什么都不做，
10:54
the system is designed to give
your loved one time served.
your loved one time served.
209
642911
3210
司法系统就会夺走
你所爱人生命里的时间。
你所爱人生命里的时间。
10:58
That's the language the system uses
to quantify time of incarceration.
to quantify time of incarceration.
210
646681
4412
这个说法是我们的系统
用来量化监禁时间的。
用来量化监禁时间的。
11:04
But if you engage, if you participate,
211
652070
3737
但是如果你介入并参与，
11:07
you can turn time served into time saved.
212
655831
3227
你可以把“被剥夺的时间”
变成“被拯救的时间”。
变成“被拯救的时间”。
11:12
That's them home with you,
living the life they should be living.
living the life they should be living.
213
660061
3388
这些时间本应该是
他们在家里跟你们一起度过的。
他们在家里跟你们一起度过的。
11:16
So, Carnell, for example,
would represent five years of time saved.
would represent five years of time saved.
214
664166
3852
因此，例如卡内尔，
代表了五年的时间被拯救了。
代表了五年的时间被拯救了。
11:21
So when we totaled our time saved numbers
215
669277
2761
当我们估算了所有
11:24
from all the different
participatory defense hubs,
participatory defense hubs,
216
672062
2499
不同的参与性辩护案子，
11:26
through the work

We're ending generational
cycles of suffering.

222
694966
3183
我们结束了一代代的痛苦循环。
11:51
And when you consider
in my home state of California,
in my home state of California,
223
699042
4392
想一下我的家乡加州，
11:56
it costs 60,000 dollars to house someone
in the California prison system,
in the California prison system,
224
704430
5202
在加州监狱体系里，
要花六万美元去养活一个人，
要花六万美元去养活一个人，
说明这些家属为他们州
12:02
that means that these families
are saving their states

225
710585
3662
12:07
a ton of money.
226
715363
1233
省了很大一笔钱。
12:08
I'm not a mathematician,
I haven't done the numbers,
I haven't done the numbers,
227
716990
2856
我不是数学家，没有具体数字，
12:11
but that is money and resources
that could be reallocated
that could be reallocated
228
719870
3337
但是这些钱和资源可以被
12:15
to mental health services,
229
723231
2285
用在心理健康服务，
12:17
to drug treatment programs, to education.
230
725540
2944
药物治疗计划和教育中来。
12:22
And we're now wearing this shirt in courts
231
730016
3576
现在我们在全国的法庭中，
12:26
all across the country.
232
734593
1404
都会穿这件衣服。
12:28
And people are wearing this shirt
233
736347
1739
人们穿这件衣服，
12:30
because they want the immediacy
of protecting their people
of protecting their people
234
738110
4213
因为他们想要在法庭上
12:34
in the courtroom.
235
742347
1150
直接地保护这些人。
12:36
But what we're telling them is,
236
744407
1545
但我们也是在告诉他们，
12:37
as practitioners,
they're building a new field,
they're building a new field,
237
745976
3749
作为实践者，
他们正在构建一个新的领域，

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Raj Jayadev - Community organizerRaj Jayadev is the cofounder and coordinator of Silicon Valley De-Bug, a community organizing, media and advocacy organization based in San Jose, California.
Why you should listen
Through De-Bug's criminal justice community organizing program, the Albert Cobarrubias Justice Project, "participatory defense" was created -- a methodology for families whose loved ones are facing the criminal court system to impact the outcome of the case and transform the landscape of power in the courts through policy initiatives. After eight years of implementing the practice in San Jose, Raj Jayadev and the De-Bug team have gone on to train community organizations across the country to become participatory defense hubs. There is now a National Participatory Defense Network that De-Bug coordinates, which represents hubs from more than 30 cities. Jayadev’s community organizing and writings have been featured in the New York Times, The Atlantic, BBC, TIME Magazine and media outlets across the country. In 2018, he was selected as a MacArthur Fellow.
