Description

No child should spend life in prison! Help us kickstart the legislative session and demand juvenile sentencing reform NOW! Join Juvenile Sentencing Reform Minnesota, Myon Burrell, Art from the Inside and others as we demand that Minnesota transforms its juvenile justice system. Currently, there are 95 people serving sentences of 15 years or more and 244 total juveniles and former juveniles incarcerated. Minnesota leads the nation in racial disparities in youth incarceration. States such as Nevada, North Dakota, Virginia and many others are standing up for their kids and changing these laws. Now we have a chance to change our laws. Join us as we imagine and create a Minnesota that is more equitable for children!
