📢@GovWesMoore, our communities are calling on you to veto HB814! This bill will put more Black and brown kids behind bars and won't make our communities safer. Our kids need care, not cages! 💛
“We are calling for a veto, [HB814] puts kids into the system that for especially that group of kids is not helpful and is ineffective. We see huge racial disparities that youth of color are majorly overrepresented." wmdt.com/2024/04/md-acl…
"The Maryland Youth Justice Coalition gathered in Annapolis on Thursday to call on Moore to nix a bill making changes to the state’s juvenile justice system. The bill would actually “directly harm kids, especially kids of color,” rather than help them." thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power…
Hey @GovWesMoore! We rallied outside of your house with @jufj @RacialJsticeNow @ACLU_MD @AlgebraProject @MarylandOPD + more of our partners last night, calling on you to VETO HB814! Our kids need real, evidence-based solutions. They need #CareNotCages! wbaltv.com/article/youth-…
I was proud to be there to stand up for justice for our children 🙏🏾 Black children are NOT disposable. @GovWesMoore you must not expand the already harmful enough carceral system to children as young as 10. Bruh! Come on now. #CareNotCages 4 Black children ♥️

“When you prosecute a parent, then what?” said Marguerite Lanaux, district public defender for Baltimore. “The parent has a conviction. So now you are further disenfranchising when it comes to jobs, rights, housing.”

#CareNotCages Maryland’s children deserve better!!
VETO HB 814!! @AlgebraProject @GovWesMoore
HB 814 has got to go! @GovWesMoore
Youth justice in Maryland NOW!
Our kids are NOT disposable!! @GovWesMoore
We heard from some fantastic MD youth this evening, I hope @GovWesMoore is listening, too. HB 814 moves us in the wrong direction, criminalizing kids instead of helping them. Kids are kids. Veto HB814.

Yesterday, JUFJ and our partners, including @RacialJsticeNow @mdyouthjustice @ACLU_MD @AlgebraProject and @MarylandOPD rallied outside Governor Moore’s office in support of youth justice, asking him to veto harmful anti-youth justice legislation HB814 (the Juvenile Reform Act).
Our Senior Policy Counsel Melissa Goemann joined @jufj @RacialJsticeNow & the @mdyouthjustice coalition outside of @GovWesMoore's office to demand #CareNotCages and a veto HB814. There's still time to stand up for youth in Maryland and say no to this harmful bill!

Hey @GovWesMoore, our kids need #CareNotCages! Veto HB814!
We stand united in calling on @GovWesMoore to veto this bill. We have seen the effect of harsh, punitive measures. We will not tolerate legislation that undermines the future of our youth. -NaShona Kess, NAACP #CareNotCages
We know that we should be helping our kids. @GovWesMoore, veto this bill! - Erin Seagers, Maryland Office of the Public Defender #CareNotCages

NOW | The Maryland Youth Justice Coalition is holding a rally in Annapolis. They’re calling on @GovWesMoore to veto HB0814, otherwise known as the Juvenile Law Reform Act. Full story coming up on @wbaltv11 at 10/11.
VETO HB 814!! @AlgebraProject @GovWesMoore
HB 814 has got to go! @GovWesMoore
We heard from some fantastic MD youth this evening, I hope @GovWesMoore is listening, too. HB 814 moves us in the wrong direction, criminalizing kids instead of helping them. Kids are kids. Veto HB814.
Hey @GovWesMoore, our kids need #CareNotCages! Veto HB814!
Yesterday, JUFJ and our partners, including @RacialJsticeNow @mdyouthjustice @ACLU_MD @AlgebraProject and @MarylandOPD rallied outside Governor Moore’s office in support of youth justice, asking him to veto harmful anti-youth justice legislation HB814 (the Juvenile Reform Act).
Our Senior Policy Counsel Melissa Goemann joined @jufj @RacialJsticeNow & the @mdyouthjustice coalition outside of @GovWesMoore's office to demand #CareNotCages and a veto HB814. There's still time to stand up for youth in Maryland and say no to this harmful bill!

Tomorrow 4/18: please join @mdyouthjustice & numerous partners for a rally in Annapolis calling on @iamwesmoore to veto HB 814 for all the reasons below. This legislation was a response to a crime perception problem, not supported by data, and will not keep our communities safe.
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. baltimoresun.com/2024/04/09/gov…
So…this juvenile justice reform bill that lawmakers passed & awaits @GovWesMoore signature (or veto)…does the data support it? Not so fast. As @HeatherWarnken & I wrote in @baltimoresun — baltimoresun.com/2024/04/09/gov…
“The number of high school-age shooting victims in Baltimore is decreasing for the first time in three years, a sign of progress in a city beleaguered by gunfire.” Fewer Baltimore teens are being shot in 2024 - The Baltimore Banner thebaltimorebanner.com/community/crim…
“the bill reflects a disturbing nationwide trend of reactionary public safety policymaking. People are certainly entitled to their own opinions…But no one is entitled to their own facts re: crime trends— no matter how often these alternatives are broadcast on tv or social media”

It’s not too late to prevent the harmful, reactionary parts of HB 814 from going into law. @iamwesmoore has the power of the pen. “The governor has repeatedly committed to being data-driven and heart-led, and no one in Maryland deserves this more than our kids.” @mdyouthjustice
The MD legislature passed a regressive piece of legislation barring youth who are registered as sex offenders--youth who have already been through the court process, completed treatment, &who a court has determined are safe to be in the community--from attending school in person.
Maryland folks: @GovWesMoore pledged to only support data-driven policy. This horrid and unconstitutional bill flies in the face of that. Call on the Governor to veto.

Heroes of the Senate! Thank you for leading the way for racial justice.
And thank you to @jillpcarter and @CharlesSydnor3d for standing up for our youth, and voting against HB814 in the Senate.
