“This budget really focuses on increasing spending to react to harm while cutting investments that would prevent harm in the first place." @EduardoRFerrer on Washington D.C.'s proposed budget pivoting to policing and away from services Tune in here: linktr.ee/ihppod
"If we really want to reduce crime, Iet’s invest in children, families, schools, and communities instead of criminalizing teenagers and their fashion." @ProfKrisHenning & Vic Wiener in @TeenVogue. teenvogue.com/story/ski-mask…
"Bottom line: If we want to be safe, we must invest directly in our youths and their parents — not scapegoat, stigmatize or further traumatize them." @EduardoRFerrer in today's @PostOpinions. Read about how preventing & healing trauma can make DC safer. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
At tonight’s @WIN_DC event, we heard from @EduardoRFerrer, Policy Director of @GeorgetownJJI about Public Safety & #gunviolence prevention. A key to public safety is ensuring no one lives in #poverty. We are building the political will to create the change we want to see!

It's time to move from 'tough' to 'intelligent' crime strategies. Read the recent op-ed "Why D.C. needs a comprehensive violence-reduction strategy" I authored with @ProfKrisHenning & @zoe_towns for deeper insights. bit.ly/3TiAvf6
Decades of being tough on crime is costing more than $1T a year & we're still less safe than a majority of the countries in the world. PWF’s @ccjones235, @ProfKrisHenning, and @zoe_towns outline the need for a comprehensive strategy to address D.C. crime: bizjournals.com/washington/new…
We're LIVE in JPR for a vote session on SB744! WATCH: mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Com… We’re calling on @Willcsmithjr and @jwaldstreicher to amend SB744 to use evidence-based solutions & provide kids with services. #FactsNotFears What’s best for kids is best for safety! #MDGA24
🚨ACTION ALERT🚨 Hey Maryland, time to get active! HB814 is on the House floor this week. The committee amendments are not enough. We know incarcerating kids doesn't work. #CareNotCages Join @mdyouthjustice and tell your Delegates to amend the bill ⤵️ bit.ly/myjcaction2
We love hearing about all the ways our alumni continue to pursue justice. 3 JJC alumni - Paul Lee ('06), Judge Chapman ('86), & Kathleen Wach ('90) - recently discovered their shared connection while at a board retreat for the Law Firm Antiracism Alliance.

I am so excited about this project! Watch for updates - information - a podcast - and for all the ideas for moving our youth justice system to a model of connection and decriminalization coming from taking guidance from the wisdom of Indigenous culture and mother nature herself.

Zero mention of anything that would prevent harm from happening in the first place. What if instead of spending further on counterproductive and often harmful reaction, we made the investments necessary to ensure that we have thriving communities in the first place?

We are excited to welcome the 2024 Ambassadors for Racial Justice! Hosted by GJJI & @GaultCenter, ARJ is a year-long program for defenders committed to challenging racial injustice in the juvenile legal system. Follow along over the coming weeks as we introduce each Ambassador!
This bill calls for everyone to be accountable but law enforcement We should all be held accountable to follow the rules We are attempting to change the rules that in the name of saving lives but we don’t understand that the changes will potentially threaten lives also
If we feel those laws went too far , then you understand how we feel We need a middle ground , you don’t wipe away things that were put in place for a reason
