Just out! #AB505 signed into law! California's youth are our future leaders & innovators. #AB505 safeguards their rights and well-being, and promotes a just society. Thank you, #CaLeg, @AsmPhilTing, & @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom for ensuring ALL youth get the chance to thrive. 💫

[The Burns Institute @BurnsInstitute]

Let's make sure all youth have the right to turn to an adult for help. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, please sign #AB505!

[The Burns Institute @BurnsInstitute]

#AB505 would require twice-a-year input from mental health, social services, & education experts in county youth justice planning. @CAProbation calls that "unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.”🤔🤯😂 Let's protect our youth & their rights! ✊ @GavinNewsom, please sign #AB505!

[The Burns Institute @BurnsInstitute]

A Youth Ombudsperson can inspect CA youth justice facilities, access records, and speak directly to youth about their rights. #AB505 will strengthen OYCR ‘s oversight & give needed access to an Ombudsperson who can safeguard the rights of youth. @GavinNewsom, please sign #AB505!

[The Burns Institute @BurnsInstitute]

Justice, equality, and well-being aren't just words; they're the pillars on which we hope to build our youth's future. Please support #AB505 and make California a beacon for transformative youth justice! 🌟 @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom #SignAB505

[The Burns Institute @BurnsInstitute]

CA closed its youth prisons & the state is paying counties over $200,000,000 a year to care for youth. #AB505 will ensure counties create research-based & health-focused plans. Without #AB505, there's no fiscal accountability for @GavinNewsom's vision of youth justice.
