Call to Action: National Parent Caucus calls!

The Campaign for Youth Justice will begin holding monthly National Parent Caucus calls. The purpose of the call is to unite families and allies in the movement for reform in the juvenile justice system, no matter where you live. We believe it will take a larger movement (meaning more of us!) to break down the systemic problems facing our children in relationship to the juvenile and criminal justice system. We also believe the time is right for that change to happen and that the change can't happen without us! The Campaign has long been a supporter of families and youth involved in the transfer of youth into the adult system.

July 3, 2009, at 12:00 EST, we will have our first official call. You maybe asking yourself, "What are the calls for?" Our vision is to have parents come together with both their issues and their expertise in order to make changes where you live that will help your children. The call in number is 1-866-670-5105, participant code is 448194#.

Please join us as we move forward to make our voices heard at all levels and make change to ensure better and brighter futures for all of our children!
