Now More Than Ever, Our Youth Need Us.

Across America, organizations fighting to abolish youth prisons and build youth-centered, community-rooted systems of justice are facing one of the hardest moments in decades. Every day, young people—full of potential, creativity, and brilliance—are trapped in systems that punish instead of heal. Systems that confine instead of support. Systems that were never built for their liberation.

But we know something powerful:
When communities invest in young people, they thrive.
When young people are given alternatives to incarceration, they rise.
When we build pathways of care instead of cages, transformation follows.

This is a moment that calls for courageous giving.
For those who believe in justice—not as a slogan, but as a commitment.
For those who know that young people deserve opportunity, not incarceration.
For those who understand that when small donors are struggling, those with the capacity to give must step forward to keep the work alive.

Your support today does more than fund a program.
It protects a principled vision.
It shields a growing movement.

It keeps the doors open for the next young person who needs a chance, a mentor or a path forward.

Join us in creating a country where justice is rooted in compassion, not confinement.
Where communities hold their youth—not prisons.
Where liberation is not an idea, but a lived reality.
