    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.
