The Raise the Age Campaign seeks to raise awareness about the impact of prosecuting 16 and 17-year-old youth in the adult criminal justice system. The Raise the Age Campaign believes that youth deserve a second chance, and should not be tried and incarcerated in the adult criminal justice system, especially for minor offenses.
The goal of this Advocacy Guide is to provide you with the tools, skills and expertise necessary to help you make your case to decision-makers.
