The 19th Annual David N. Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum is taking place today at Columbia University’s Alfred Lerner Hall. The yearly gathering continues to serve as an important vehicle for discussing major urban policy issues. Today’s event features The Honorable Loretta E. Lynch, 83rd Attorney General of the United States, who will be presenting a keynote address on 21st Century Policing and Criminal Justice Reform. Throughout the morning we’ll be posting tweets from the event. So check back regularly to see what’s going on, or watch it live through the livestream video below.
