DESCRIPTION:Film Event: 'Juvies'\nChallenge the criminalization of our youth! \n  \nOn 
 Friday, May 13th at the Eastside Arts Alliance in Oakland, The California 
 Coalition for Women Prisoners will host a screening of "Juvies" (Dir. 
 Leslie Neale, 66 min. USA), a film about youth tried as adults and 
 sentenced to outrageously long sentences.\n \nThe film forces us to ask 
 questions about the failures of the juvenile justice system and questions 
 about justice itself.\n \nThe California Coalition for Women Prisoners 
 regularly visits young women and trans folk sentenced as adults for crimes 
 they were involved in before they were 18.  Some of these people are 
 sentenced to life without the possibility of parole (LWOP). Several women 
 CCWP visits are featured in the film. \n \nThis event is being organized in 
 collaboration with women  organizing inside prisons in California, and the 
 evening will include some of their writing.\n \nThe film will be followed 
 by a moderated discussion. Come join with community groups, youth 
 organizers, formerly incarcerated community members, and local activists to 
 share ideas on how to work together to stop the criminalization of youth, 
 particularly youth of color, to learn about the recent SB9 legislation, to 
 meet with different groups, and get updates on current youth justice 
 campaigns and connect with continuing actions.\n \nThe event is from 7-9pm 
 and is free, wheelchair accessible, and open to the public. Please join 
 us!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/04/22/18677820.php
