1. Take an actively anti-racist stance on policies and programs, 
2. Commit to doing no harm to youth and families, and
3. Advocate for meaningful changes to policies and practices and invest in solutions aligned with our long term vision. 

Our coalition works to bring together diverse community members and organizations advocating for youth justice reform. We collaborate on and provide assistance to the advocacy efforts of members and work collectively for systemic change.
