About the Conference
The MNJRC's annual Reimagining Justice Conference is an inspirational convening of a broad diversity of criminal legal system practitioners, scholars, advocates, impacted persons, and community members. Through speakers, panels, and interactive conversation, we create the space to network and learn from efforts to bring the criminal legal system closer to a true justice system.
In past years, elected officials have joined the convening, including Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Mayor Melvin Carter, and state legislators from both sides of the aisle. We've also heard powerful speeches from renowned justice leaders including Dr. Shawn Ginwright, Briana Payton, and Desmond Meade.

2025
On Thursday November 20th, 2025 at Glass House, the Reimagining Justice Conference convened community voices from across the criminal legal system to connect, exchange ideas, and recommit to transforming policing in Minnesota five years after the murder of George Floyd.
The in-person event included informational and engaging conversations about tools for making our state’s law enforcement more accountable, equitable, and restorative.
