Day Pitney's pro bono work with New Blue was featured in the Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation Newsletter article, "An Incubator for Reform-Minded Officers Reflects on Tyre Nicols."
New Blue is an incubator for reform-minded officers and their ideas. The organization identifies officers who demonstrate a desire to reimagine law enforcement and are dedicated to the pursuit of social equity and racial justice.
