Background
The Vanguard, a community-based watchdog and news reporting organization that publishes daily coverage of local government and criminal justice reform, presents its yearly justice awards to groups and individuals making invaluable contributions to our criminal justice reform efforts and the peace and safety of us all.
Publisher and editor David Greenwald points out: “We have attempted to bring transparency, accountability and fairness to local government and the courts, while promoting social justice and democracy, and adhering to principles of accuracy and fairness in our reporting." Plain and simple.
Now, The Vanguard provides coverage of criminal courts throughout California – including Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and others through the innovating "court watch" program, regional and national coverage of justice issues, extended coverage of legal and innocence issues, and prison journalism through the innovative and dynamic "Vanguard Incarcerated Press" program.
Please join us for these important awards and give generously to keep us going in our unveiling of many different parts of society that are behind the grey walls!
