At @JuvLaw1975, we fight to end the harmful practice of juvenile fines and fees. In #Maryland, @DDavisCharlesCo's House Bill 36 would do just that. @LukeClippinger, bring this urgent bill to a vote! Why is it stuck in your committee? #hb36 #mdpolitics #debtfreejustice
Come work at @JuvLaw1975 this summer! Applications are now open!
Calling all 2Ls! It's time to apply for our 10 week summer Law and Policy Internship. There is up to a $5000 stipend available—priority deadline is December 1, but we encourage people to apply early because the decision is rolling.
Info is here: jlc.org/careers/internships
PA takes a long overdue step to support older youth in foster care pay for college! Working on this legislation was one of my first assignments at @JuvLaw1975; glad to see it across the finish line! #fosteringhighered
Breaking: PA passed the tuition waiver legislation, meaning that starting in fall of 2020, older youth in foster care in PA will be eligible for tuition waivers to colleges across the state. Thanks to all of you who called and fought for this victory! #fosteringhighered
Finally mustered up the strength to watch the first episode of When They See Us. @ava thank you for your unbelievable work telling this heartbreaking story of how poorly young black and brown boys are treated in the justice system #WhenTheyUs
It’s hard not to feel helpless..but I’m proud of the work we do at @JuvLaw1975 to protect young people in the justice system.
But we all need to do more to hold our police, prosecutors, judges, media, and everyone else in the system accountable to end the racist policies and practices that are reflected in #WhenTheySeeUs and experienced by black and brown children and adults everyday

Great to see you on Broadway @VancityJax but even greater to see you fighting for youth justice in @WhenTheySeeUs. From a lawyer for youth at @JuvLaw1975 to an actor portraying a lawyer for youth who needed it most, congrats on today's series launch. #WhenTheySeeUs #123saha

Criminalizing abortion doesn’t end abortion. It ends safe, legal abortion. #StopTheBans #MoLeg

I’m beyond upset about the passing of new abortion bans in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, and Ohio. This is Unconstitutional and Abhorrent. We can not tolerate this attack on women’s fundamental rights.

If a fetus is a person at 6 weeks pregnant, is that when the child support starts? Is that also when you can’t deport the mother because she’s carrying a US citizen? Can I insure a 6 week fetus and collect if I miscarry? Just figuring if we’re going here we should go all in. – at Lexington, VA

We are thrilled about this. It also is the first time in @JuvLaw1975 history that a federal bill has had a name that references one of our reports. Please see our press release: jlc.org/news/cardenas-juveni…
Today, I am introducing the Ending Debtor’s Prison for Kids Act. We need to eliminate the cruel practice of collecting fines and fees that keep children in jail and American families in debt. #SecondChanceMonth #debtfreejustice
Thank you @RepCardenas for your leadership on this issue! Fines and fees go against the rehabilitative goals of the juvenile justice system and push families and kids further into poverty. #debtfreejustice
