Witnessed From the Justice Bus: COVID Drove Equal Justice Off the Road, but Technology Grabbed the Wheel and Is Steering Us Into the Future

Thirty feet above the marble entrance to the Supreme Court looms the Great American Promise: “Equal Justice Under Law.” Chiseled by hand before the building was completed in 1935, the bold pledge—though etched in stone—remains distant and unfulfilled in neighborhoods just a few miles away. Burdened with poverty and a lack of resources—access to technology and easy transportation, first and foremost—the less fortunate have long found equal justice mostly out of reach. COVID-19 has only increased the problem, isolating needy Americans in their most desperate time. Yet as you drive into any rural area of America, you find that the virus also revealed what has already proven to be one of the great equalizers of our age: technology. It’s making a profound difference and traveling across America makes that clear.
