April is Second Chance Month, a national awareness campaign to address the collateral consequences that come with incarceration. During this month, FFLIC reaffirms the importance of supporting people, especially our youth, who have been incarcerated. #secondchancemonth
"As a returned community member & father to 2 beautiful children, I crave safety. I don’t want anyone exposed to violence. I also know imprisoning me & thousands of other young men isn’t the answer." @TeenVogue leading again. Lawmakers: Please listen. teenvogue.com/story/superpre…
Suspensions in schools disproportionately impact Black and brown students. The inequality of the system toward young people could negatively change the trajectory of their lives. It is time to hold the system accountable for this unfair treatment. #nomoreprisons, #investinkids
We believe that the best ideas bubble up from communities, so we work to engage deeply in and with the communities we fund. We proudly join Tennessee’s fight for transformative change in and around the state’s criminal justice system. Learn more here: publicwelfare.org/our-work/juris…
“It's not enough just to say what we don't want to see... we've got to start building what we want to see.” @ccjones235 has led PWF for the past 7 years, leading investment in community-led organizations to create a transformative and racially just future. #WomensHistoryMonth
🧵 (1/2) According to @NoKidsInPrison data, Black youth are nearly 3.5x as likely to end up inside the @fladjj than their White peers.
Why it matters: It costs taxpayers over $90K annually per child to imprison them versus less than $9K per pupil to educate them. This #SecondChanceMonth is both a moral and an economic imperative. nokidsinprison.org/explore/florid… [📊: @NoKidsInPrison] (2/2)
In this season of change, it’s time to do something different and take responsibility for our children and for creating an environment where they are protected from violence and crime. Stay tuned for details on how you can Stand in Hope to support youth and families this spring!
Thank you, @KYWNewsradio for covering this urgent issue. Overcrowding is completely unacceptable, but the solution is providing supports in communities, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 sending children to prison. 👏🏽👏🏽 audacy.com/kywnewsradio/n… #CareNotControl #FreeOurYouth #NoKidsinPrison @NoKidsInPrison

To say we are disappointed to hear that @GovernorShapiro proposed an investment in building out a new youth prison would be an understatement. Read and share our statement opposing this development and urging lawmakers to invest in communities instead! ✊🏽 bit.ly/3-12statement
Incarcerating youth hurts them and their communities + worsens public safety. Thank you for amplifying this message @PhillyInquirer! inquirer.com/opinion/commen… #CareNotControl #FreeOurYouth @NoKidsInPrison
Black youth in Louisiana are pushed out of school at disturbing rates, far more than their white peers. If kids are criminalized for acting like kids, they become increasingly vulnerable to making contact with the youth justice system. #solutionsnotsuspensions
