NEW: Criminalization and violence—rather than safety—continue to define young people’s experiences in their communities.
Read and share @CLASP_DC's new Youth Data Portrait that shows why we still need a @NewDeal4Youth more now than ever.

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.
She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.
Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK

IMAGE THREAD: Community Statement on Equitable & Safe Schooling Options During the COVID-19 Surge (full statement available here: https://t.co/cm6ewK5dSO) @GovDanMcKee
On 11/13/21, the PVD Tree plan was launched! The PVD tree plan is a coalition working to create an equitable urban forest, YIA along with other organizations in RI are involved in this work. Next, we want to hear from the community on how we want to see this plan go into action.
The youth-led organization @youthinactionri has continued to create brave spaces for youth to become agents of change. They’re building leadership skills to address equity issues in their communities and create more caring, fair public institutions and systems.
Next year is YIA’s 25th Birthday!!! We are planning some really exciting things. Stay tuned for updates!!
If you want to learn how to get involved with the planning, reach out to Stephanie at [email protected].
Broad Street es nuestro hogar, ¡y estamos emocionados para los cambios que vienen este año! Sabemos lo difícil y estresante que puede ser moverse por aquí, y este proyecto generará más seguridad, equidad, y accesibilidad, sin importar cómo nos mudemos:
