We’ll explore how the release of this report – primarily created by the families of youth impacted by the juvenile justice system – inspired action and advocacy over the past decade.
Hear from people from all parts of the justice system
- tell stories of success inspired by the report
- acknowledge the continued challenges communities face around unjust juvenile systems
- identify next step actions to continue the progress that the report started.
This event will launch Justice for Families’ ambitious campaign to develop the next phase of youth justice work.
This event is free of charge and open to all. Registration is required and once registered, participants will receive information to attend the event remotely or in person.
Refreshments will be provided at the in-person location in New York City
