YSRP mourns the passing of Robert Schwartz, founding advisory board member of YSRP & @JuvLaw1975 co-founder. Bob was a tireless advocate for youth justice, whose vision & mentorship helped shape our work. Bob, may we carry your light & lessons into a better future for youth.

This is a symptom of a much larger issue: when racist systems do not see the inherent worth and humanity of especially Black and Brown children, it’s no wonder they continually fail to show them compassion, care, and ultimately protection. inquirer.com/crime/juvenile…

In 2015, YSRP launched the Youth Advocacy Project (YAP) @pennlaw. This pro bono initiative pairs law and social work students from @PennSP2 to support young people in Philly's adult criminal legal system. Since then, 200+ students have volunteered, aiding 150+ young people.

@StoneleighFdn Fellow and YSRP Co-Founder Lauren Fine has a new report on Participatory Action Research with young adults with lived experience in Philadelphia’s youth justice system. The report examines the components of successful community-based alternatives to incarceration.

The YSRP Intergenerational Healing Circle (IGHC) was a special guest at the @WellsFargoCtr this past Thursday. They were joined by 76er alumnus Jumaine Jones, who shared his story and hung out with Robert Covington after the game! Thank you, @sixers, for an amazing night!

Children should not be held in adult prisons. No matter the color they paint the walls, young people will know they are being placed at an adult prison facility. We need a comprehensive strategy that prioritizes safety and community resources. At best, this is a band-aid.

YSRP staff attended the Juvenile Justice Reform event in Harrisburg to discuss #HB1381, game-changing legislation that would end the practice of “direct file” or charging children as if they were adults. Thank you @RepDanMiller, for hosting the event and for sponsoring HB 1381!

This past Thursday, YSRP held our 8th annual celebration of the landmark Montgomery decision. Once told they would die in prison, these former Juvenile Lifers have come home and are thriving. Thank you, @thespringpoint, for the beautiful space for our community.
