Campaign Strategies Training: "Ending Youth Incarceration" - Webinar

This past year, social media has been flooded with violent images of the over policing of marginalized communities. We have felt the detrimental impact of state sanctioned violence, which has led to too many of our children, parents, friends, family and community members behind bars. CJNY member organizations continue to do the critical organizing and advocacy work to resist the structural racism within our justice and education systems. In a continuous effort to develop the skills we need to hold systems accountable for over criminalizing our communities, we are very pleased to bring to you: Youth First Initiative’s Campaign Strategies Training: “Ending Youth Incarceration” Space is limited so please register today using this link. http://goo.gl/forms/IVs7dNv92H Once you register, you’ll be provided with the call in information. This session will highlight examples of successful campaigns to close youth prisons, discuss lessons learned from these campaigns and other advocacy efforts, and cover steps for kicking off a campaign in your state to end youth incarceration. Facilitator: Liz Ryan, founder of the Youth First Initiative: a national Juvenile Justice campaign with the goals of halving youth incarceration in 15 states over the next five years while expanding community-based alternatives for youth.
