At the Annual @4juvjustice Youth Summit hearing from currently incarcerated youth leaders. Their words of wisdom speak of so much that could be or have been offered to them before ever coming into the system. It is bc of youth like these that I fight to have #NoKidsInPrison.
RISE at today’s Prison Justice Speak Out in Roanoke. Thank you Roanoke Peoples' Power Network, the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality and the numerous others who made today possible.
