UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts

@UbaltLaw Center for Families, Children and the Courts focuses on improving the lives of families and children.

[David Jaros @ProfDavidJaros]

Don't fall for the politicized and wrongheaded attacks on Md Dep't of Juvenile Services Secretary Schiraldi.

Instead of hyper-politicized attacks- focus on the research-- over-reliance on incarceration and punitive approaches undermines public safety. Schiraldi gets it.

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

@UBaltLawCFCC is one of the 118 signatories calling for youth justice approaches that improve community safety AND achieves better outcomes for our kids. We must commit to research-backed, equitable, community-centered approaches and reject outdated policies. #CareNotCages

[UBalt Law Center for Criminal Justice Reform @ubalt_ccjr]

There’s still time to change your mind, @iamwesmoore. https://t.co/tCubn76D4d

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

We join our community partners in asking @iamwesmoore to do the right thing for our kids and veto HB814. We are tired of leading the nation in incarcerating Black children. They deserve better.

[Maryland Youth Justice Coalition @mdyouthjustice]

.@GovWesMoore, we call on you to VETO HB814!

In your inaugural address, you said "We do not have to choose between a safe state and a just state", but this bill won't make Maryland safer or more just – it’ll just hurt kids.

Be courageous and VETO HB814!

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

Today is a good day to bump up this op-Ed from our friend @HeatherWarnken and @DrAlexPiquero in the @baltimoresun explaining the many reasons HB814 is misguided.

[Heather Warnken @HeatherWarnken]

Today @DrAlexPiquero and I lay out why we must follow facts & best practice, not anecdote. This law will not improve public safety. It will worsen MD's shameful racial disparities and harm Black children. We can and must do better, and it's not too late.

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

@iamwesmoore, punitive responses are not what Maryland’s kids need. Please, veto HB814.

[Maryland Youth Justice Coalition @mdyouthjustice]

Maryland leads the country in incarcerating young Black kids. HB814 will make that worse.

If the bill goes into effect, more elementary school kids will be incarcerated for minor offenses and put in jail before court.

@GovWesMoore our kids need you to VETO HB814!

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

@UBaltLawCFCC’s Executive Director @Aubrey_EL joining our community partners to let @iamwesmoore know that he should veto HB814. #carenotcages

[Aubrey Edwards-Luce @Aubrey_EL]

Making good trouble with good comrades at the #CareNotCages rally! #Maryland youth are telling us what they need: #TreatKidsLikeKids, ⬆️ investments in the #YesAct, and fully implement the #MDBlueprint.
Gov. Wes Moore, it’s time to choose #factsoverfear & Veto HB814.

[Shanta Trivedi @ShantaTrivedi]

Thanks to ⁦@DrAlexPiquero⁩ and my friend, ⁦@HeatherWarnken⁩ ⁦@ubalt_ccjr⁩ for this important piece in the ⁦@baltimoresun.⁩ @iamwesmoore⁩, we can do better for our kids. Veto HB814! https://t.co/I7Aeoz5wyi

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

@UBaltLawCFCC’s Executive Director, @Aubrey_EL and Faculty Director, @ShantaTrivedi are begging for a research-based, humane response when children make mistakes. Holding parents “accountable” will not solve the problem.

[Shanta Trivedi @ShantaTrivedi]

@Aubrey_EL and I explained why @ivanjbates's proposal to hold parents "accountable" is misguided and harmful in the @BaltimoreBanner and on @MiddayWYPR. 🧵

[FathersFighting4Fathers (For) Families @FathersF4]

FF4F for Families would like to thank @ubaltlawcfcc. Led by CFCC Faculty Director Shanta Trivedi and Executive Director, Aubrey Edwards Luce for her testimony about her support for SB0708! This legislation will have a meaningful impact on children lives.

[Shanta Trivedi @ShantaTrivedi]

Thinking of these men who lost their lives in this crazy tragedy, trying to make better lives for their families. A reminder of the many sacrifices that immigrants make. ❤️ #BaltimoreStrong

[UBalt Law Center for Families, Children & Courts @UBaltLawCFCC]

We could not be more excited to welcome @ProfessorLNReed as our new dean! We will miss our outgoing Dean @UBaltLawDean and are so grateful for all of his support over the years. We know he’ll do great things @SetonHallLaw!
