Positive Youth Justice Initiative: Organizing for a Healthy Justice System
Youth Justice Coalition – Los Angeles County
The Youth Justice Coalition works to build a movement led by system-impacted
youth, families and formerly and currently incarcerated people to challenge
Los Angeles’, California’s and the nation’s addiction to incarceration, and to
dismantle the injustice of race, gender and class inequality in the criminal and
juvenile justice systems. The organization uses direct action organizing, advocacy,
political education, research, transformative justice and activist arts to build
community power and bring about change.
