Young people aren't waiting for change. They're leading it.

During Week 2 of Youth Justice Action Month, we're celebrating Youth Leading the Movement.

Building a future where youth thrive requires more than asking young people for their opinions. It means creating meaningful opportunities for youth to influence decisions, develop solutions, lead initiatives, and hold systems accountable. Young people know what their communities need.

It's time to make sure they have the space, resources, and power to lead.

October is Youth Justice Action Month!

This week, YJAM's focus is Education and Empowerment.

Building a future where youth thrive means ensuring every young person has access to quality education, meaningful opportunities, and the tools they need to make informed decisions about their future. We can do this by first educating ourselves on the systemic harm young people face as a result of intersectional involvement in the justice system, including through criminalization, immigration detention, school pushout, and family policing.

Check out the reading list in the comments as a starting point for deepening understanding of systemic harm.

The Census Bureau wants to change who counts in 2030, and to stop asking about race and ethnicity. Public comments close Oct 13. Learn more about how this impacts Voices for Children in Nebraska's mission and find out how to take action at the link in the comments.
