    Organizing for Abolition. Envisioning Liberation. with National Center for Youth Law and upEND Movement

    We close our podcast series, Organizing for Abolition. Envisioning Liberation., with a very special episode. Recorded in person at our annual board meeting, we're joined by two of the leading voices in the family policing abolitionist movement. Kristen Weber of the National Center for Youth Law and Alan Dettlaff of upEND Movement discuss family policing through the lens of racial justice and how our current system is an extension of slavery — in which Black families continue to be disproportionately separated and criminalized. Listen to the full episode to hear more about how family policing fits into the broader abolitionist movement.

    In the third episode of Organizing for Abolition.

They discuss abolition in the context of educational justice, and why dismantling schools’ policing infrastructure, culture and practice is crucial to that justice.

    Manifest with the Campaign for Youth Justice

    Manifest with the Campaign for Youth Justice

    In this episode of Out Of The Margins, we close our series on what it takes to MANIFEST change with Marcy Mistrett and Billy Harris, previously with the Campaign for Youth Justice. After 15 years of impact, the campaign came to a close on December 31st, 2020. Marcy and Billy speak to us about what it took to achieve substantial wins for the broader field of youth justice and why the work is far from done.
    Some of these wins include:
    A 70% drop in youth prosecuted as adults. Changing over 100 laws in 40 states and Washington DC that make it harder to send children to adult court.Narrowing or ending automatic transfer laws in 22 states. Permanently closing the door to the adult system for more than 100,000 children every year by raising the age of criminal responsibility to 18 years old.
    An update on our guests:
    Marcy Mistrett is now the Director of Youth Justice at The Sentencing Project. Billy Harris continues to be a Youth Justice Advocate based in California.
