The pan­elists will discuss:

• why the youth jus­tice reform move­ment oper­ates as it does;
• the movement’s goals, struc­ture, strate­gies and out­comes; and
• how it must adapt to soci­etal changes.

They will also explore the impact advo­cat­ing for jus­tice has had on them, their orga­ni­za­tions and the com­mu­ni­ties they serve. This includes the effects of grief, loss, trau­ma and racial discrimination.

This webi­nar is ide­al for orga­niz­ers, advo­cates and grass­roots lead­ers inter­est­ed in move­ment build­ing, per­se­ver­ance and well-being. Any­one who cares about young peo­ple and com­mu­ni­ty safe­ty in the con­text of youth jus­tice reform will ben­e­fit from the discussion.
