- One in four people in the US has a criminal record; four in four have a criminal history. Attorney and artist Emily Baxter talks about We Are All Criminals, a project that examines the suffocating stigma created by our criminal justice system-and the disparate harm of that system upon poor people, people of color, and Indigenous people across the United States.
Emily Baxter is the executive director of We Are All Criminals, a media-based advocacy project and organization. Prior to this, Emily served as the director of advocacy and public policy at the Council on Crime and Justice in Minnesota and as an assistant public defender at the Regional Native Public Defense Corporation representing indigent members of the Leech Lake and White Earth Bands of Ojibwe charged with crimes in Minnesota State court. Emily began developing We Are All Criminals through an Archibald Bush Leadership Fellowship in 2012. She now lives in Durham, North Carolina. We Are All Criminals exists at the intersection of stories, statutes, and statistics. Photographs and first-person narrative humanize the destruction caused by decades of mass incarceration and mass criminalization, while leaving readers with a sense of hope and inspiration to effect change. You can find the project online at weareallcriminals.org and soon, in an upcoming book.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I saw Emily Baxter 5 years ago at a business event. She is right on! So very proud of you Emily! We need to change the criminal injustice system. Things need to change! Please share her talk...
Mental health is a serious issue. I’ve had many opportunities and low points where I could’ve been a murderer. I just wish people would save me from myself before they have to save others from me.
The bigger criminals are those who have power. And not use it to better society.
Very moving. We should ALL get behind this project.
Not all crimes are created equal.

This important work we should all support.
great project! amazing speaker. critical issue. We Are All Criminals!
Wow this is powerful! Made me tear up.
I think this project's importance has increased following the 'lock 'em up" stand our recently elected leaders appear to have taken, from AG on down the chain. Yes, we have an "empathy chasm." Good presentation, Emily. Thank you.
Wow this is a message that everybody should hear
Great message and so important for reframing the way we look at justice.
What is “justice”? In a truly just system we would all be locked up criminals and thats why it doesn’t actually exist.
This was great
refreshed
Emily is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Amen Archie. Hope things are well with you out west.
BRAVO! ! ! !
One of the Best..and wonderful video Ever Created :)
True insight into Humanity and not this Demonic System we have invented, especially in the USA :(
wow good
I have a DUI. Blew a 0.09 but a 0.08 is sobriety. I am destroyed and so are my children forever. You were in Toronto March 1 and I spent $200 to get to u of t to see your lecture. The cabbie could not find the street and I missed your lecture. I am enamoured by your work and wanted to get your book. So I won’t be eating this week and this is because I am a heinous criminal that has no transportation. I hope you come back to Canada soon.
That’s so sad 😢 especially considering the amount of people who get away with driving under the influence every single day. We have a criminal injustice system for sure.
10,000 people are killed every year due to drunk driving, and that is no laughing matter. However, you are alive today and deserve a second chance. I hope you will not give up on your children and they won't you. Best wishes.
I hope you fought this
@@professorfoxtrot are you serious
@@louisegiordano5665 No. Drunk driving charges are ridiculous. If you hit someone, sure, you should pay the penalty, but not if there is no victim.
I'd say not yet
but how much control do we really have over these matters?
The Word
It’s the interest on money: the biggest structural criminality. Creating the exploiters vs the exploited.
Our system is gonna break soon thats what shtf is gonna be
When a person who physically abused me who kept on trying to aggravate me called the police on me. I talked about it with a counselor. I am not the type who presses charges. This video makes me feel guilty. It is like, I am white so it makes me guilty. I called a lawyer. I told him that the accuser called me mentally ill. He treated me with contempt. Lady, I guess that I have a problem with financial issues. I would hate getting a lawyer over a person who did defamation on me. I was doubting that it was defamation because I was used to being stigmatized most of my life. I stared to remember that I am not a violent person. The accuser has no bruises. But the people she complained to tried a little too hard to make me look guilty. I was given no time to get a lawyer. My work became against me. A person at work told me that he hoped that I die. I got a restraining order, but I would never hurt someone so bad as saying that I hope you die. So I guess the accuser was saying that she was psychologically abused by me. But then I found out that using the word mental illness as evidence is defamation whether it is true or not. Because thank you lady for bringing up mental illness and records.
There are so many points in this ted talk I want to talk about with this lady. It was very interesting but some stuff is a little off.
The true criminals are on Wall Street and running our government
@@Thundralight Your thought process seems like "Hmm, they're richer than me. Must be corrupt."
