Vigil Photos: 'Towards a New Juvenile Justice System for California'

by josh sonnenfeld (sugarloaf [at] riseup.net)
On Wednesday evening, five candlelight vigils were held all over the state of California "for all the youth inside [the California Youth Authority] and all the youth we've lost" in the system. One of the largest was rumored to be the vigil in Oakland, a few photos from which are below.

From a Books Not Bars announcement: "We're going to light the way to a new system, to show California's leaders transformation is both necessary and possible. Thousands of people across the state know what's right and have waited long enough. Please join us as we honor youth and families and call on the Governor to take real action now."
