The document discusses several issues in the Oregon criminal justice system. It proposes making county supervision fee collection optional rather than mandatory as fees do not improve outcomes and only serve as additional punishment. It also addresses ensuring youth in detention have equal access to education and preventing "equity theft" tactics used by real estate developers to pressure homeowners. The overall mission is for Multnomah County to support evidence-based, equitable reforms to end systemic racism in the justice system.

Systemic racism is a public health issue perpetu-
