The Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee voted to advance HB 1381 today, which YSRP hopes will usher in a more humane era of support and care for youth involved in the criminal legal system.
YAP-YSRP-YASP Event at Penn Law School
On Monday, March 20th, Youth Advocates from YSRP joined Youth Advocates from the The Youth Art & Self-empowerment Project (YASP) to talk with law and social work student advocates who volunteer with the Penn Youth Advocacy Project. We are grateful to Josh, David, Terrance, Eugene and Zakair for speaking truth to power and being so brave, thoughtful and powerful in sharing about what it is like being incarcerated as a child in an adult jail. We are grateful to them, and to YASP for their partnership on this and so many issues.
