Pennsylvania's school funding system is unconstitutional, with "manifest deficiencies" between low and high-wealth school districts, a Commonwealth Court judge ruled today -- close to a year after the landmark trial ended. More to come on this decision: https://t.co/uSnaO0WuPr

Thank you @edlawcenterpa @omelvenymyers and most of all our clients across Pennsylvania.

NEW: In a historic victory for students, a judge has declared Pennsylvania's school funding system unconstitutional.

We proved that the students who need the most have the least, because the state shortchanges low-wealth communities. It's time to change that.

Senior Attorney @Kate_Burdick is in New Mexico today w/@ACLUNM and the Office of Public Defender arguing in front of NM Supreme Court about the urgency of keeping youth out of the adult criminal system.

[Denali Wilson @denaliwil]

Allison Jaramillo and @Kate_Burdick crushed it today before the NM Supreme Court, and I was lucky to get to join as local counsel for amicus. Happy to have joined to urge our court not to take lightly the decision to sentence children as adults. @JuvLaw1975 @NMDefenders

[YASP @YASP2]

The PA Juvenile Justice Task Force was created due to horrific instances of abuse that continues in PA’s system of youth incarceration. We need action now. RT this to tell the PA legislature to act. #CareNotControl https://t.co/s7d1id7Dw8

If you would like to support Mr. Montgomery, here is a great way.

[riyasahashah on bsky @riya]

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS. Henry Montgomery has been incarcerated for far too long. Thankfully, he will soon be home. Grateful to all those who have worked on his behalf, including @paroleproject @theCFSY and a team at @JuvLaw1975 who represented him before SCOTUS in 2016.
