Donate to the "10 by 10" Campaign
Prosecuting youth in the adult criminal justice system is:
Inhumane. Thousands of kids face physical and sexual abuse -and suicide- every year as they languish in adult jails and prisons having been charged or sentenced in adult courts.
Unjust. The system disproportionately affects African-American and Latino youth, who are treated more harshly by the adult justice system than white youth for similar offenses.
Ineffective. These punitive policies just don't work - and in fact, research by the Department of Justice shows that they decrease public safety.
Federal and state policymakers won't take action to change these policies unless they hear from their constituents. More grassroots campaigns are needed on the ground in states to show support for reform!
To launch grassroots campaigns in new states in 2010, we are asking you to participate in the "10 by 10" campaign!

The goal of the "10 by 10" campaign is to raise $10,000 in 10 days! Please consider donating $10 and inviting 10 of your friends to each donate $10!
