Community organizer Raj Jayadev wants to transform the US court system through “participatory defense” — a growing movement that empowers families and community members to impact their loved ones’ court cases. He shares the remarkable results of their work — including more than 4,000 years of “time saved” from incarceration — and shows how this new model could shift the landscape of power in the courts.

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).
