Our Children are Running out of Time: Reauthorize the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Now!
Congress has a limited time to move forward fundamental federal juvenile justice legislation that will protect our most vulnerable children. Help keep children out of adult jails, end the over-incarceration of youth of color in the justice system and devote more resources to effective juvenile justice programs that protect our young people and keep our communities safe.
Reauthorization of this important law is nearly 4 years overdue and Congress is scheduled to adjourn on October 8.
