About
MOVEMENT BUILDINGTHE CFSY SERVES AS THE NATIONAL HUB FOR ALL THOSE WORKING TO END THE PRACTICE OF SENTENCING YOUTH TO DIE IN PRISON. WE PRIORITIZE OUTREACH TO, ENGAGEMENT OF, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR THOSE WHO ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE POLICIES WE WORK TO REFORM, SUCH AS THOSE SERVING JLWOP, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE COMMITTED BY YOUTH. THIS INCLUDES THE INCARCERATED CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY NETWORK (ICAN), A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND NATIONAL NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS FORMERLY INCARCERATED AS YOUTH. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE EXPERTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THROUGH THEIR ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORTS THAT CHILDREN - EVEN THOSE CONVICTED OF SERIOUS CRIMES - CAN MATURE AND BECOME POSITIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. ALONGSIDE ICAN MEMBERS, WE CONVENE AND COORDINATE AMONG OUR PARTNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY IN ORDER TO ENSURE ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN THIS EFFORT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE AND WORK TOGETHER STRATEGICALLY TOWARD OUR COMMON GOAL.
