An "Upworthy" Photography Project

I'm a big fan of www.upworthy.com.  The site does a great job of calling attention to social issues that are sometimes more comfortably swept under the rug.  It has a lot in common with this CoP, as a matter of fact.  We talk about tough but important stuff.  This Upworthy post highlights a photography project described by the artist in the following way:

"We Are All Criminals seeks to challenge society’s perception of what it means to be a criminal and how much weight a record should be given, when truly — we are all criminals. 

But it is also a commentary on the disparate impact of our nation’s policies, policing, and prosecution: many of the project's participants benefited from belonging to a class and race that is not overrepresented in the criminal justice system. Permanent and public criminal records perpetuate inequities, precluding millions of people from countless opportunities to move on and move up. 

We Are All Criminals questions the wisdom and fairness in those policies."
