Dear John,
Millions of people just saw what we’ve been working to change for decades: our juvenile justice system is a failure. It undermines public safety, damages young people’s physical and mental health, and impedes their educational and career success. Even worse, communities of color bear the brunt of this injustice. Thanks to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, that harsh reality is reaching a national audience. This kind of attention doesn’t happen everyday. But when it does, it can move people to act.
We need the resources to meet that moment and to keep pushing long after the headlines fade.
If you believe all our kids deserve better than youth prisons, your support is a powerful place to start. Please make a donation to support The Sentencing Project today. [[link removed]]
