Books Not Bars Celebrates Successes, Looks Ahead to Challenges
2/24 Books Not Bars Town Hall Meeting in Oakland
Books Not Bars (BNB) is planning a series of big campaign events throughout the year as part of a campaign to close the California Youth Authority's youth prisons, and to transform juvenile justice.
This month there has already been a Valentine's week meeting with legislators to share BNB's vision for a new juvenile justice system in California. Earlier in the month there was a "Leadership Academy" which was attended by parents from all over California. They held workshops on
organizing and advocacy, developed campaign plans for the year, discussed the
difficult issues that youth and families face, and committed to working together for
lasting and meaningful change.
On Thursday, February 24th, there was a Books Not Bars Town Hall Meeting in Oakland. BNB says, "2005 has already been a head-spinning year for juvenile justice reform. (And it's only February!)... weeks ago, State Senator Gloria Romero introduced a bill that calls for closing CYA’s Chad facility and 'redesigning or rebuilding' all the facilities within 3 years...the CYA lawsuit settlement brought plans for a whole new juvenile justice model for the state. The Books Not Bars 'Alternatives for Youth' campaign invites everyone to join us for a big update and celebration of our victories so far. Find out what is happening and how you can get involved."
