Betting on New Yorkers
Description
Bradley sits down with two Erikas—Augustine, who runs the David Prize, and Sasson, a winner—about why $200K, no-strings grants can unlock long-horizon, relationship-driven change in NYC. They get into Sasson’s restorative-justice work on serious harm—why apologies, agency, and community can lower future violence better than ever-longer sentences. Bradley floats an AI-sentencing thought experiment, sparking a sharp debate about bias, deterrence, and what justice is actually for. New Yorkers can throw their hats in the ring at thedavidprize.org, deadline is Nov 17.
