Youth Justice

ACT renewed our youth organizing in 2017, working on raising awareness about and reforming the juvenile justice system.  Youth organized to reduce the numbers of School Resource Offices (police officers) on campuses in Sacramento City Unified School District. Youth are advocating for jobs and workforce development and for re-entry pathways to school and community. ACT is working with youth in juvenile detention and in the community.  Youth are also invited into ACT’s work on reinvestment, police reform and implicit bias.
