After her first year on the Andrus Family Fund Board, we sat down with Amara Andrus to learn more about her connection and commitment to AFF's work. “AFF’s abolition framework pushes us all to keep interrogating the root causes of systemic oppression rather than just treating the symptoms. I’m grateful for the growth I’ve gone through over the course of this journey so far.” - Amara Andrus, Andrus Family Fund Board member.

Our partner Joyce McMillan at JMACforFamilies shares a powerful response to this WABE report on the disturbing realities of the child welfare system. "These types of acts are indicative of the intentional state violence committed against families living in poverty and the reason I scream to abolish the child welfare system as it currently exists."
This is not the dumbest or most evil act that I’ve seen committed against a family by a child welfare agency. These types of acts are indicative of the intentional state violence committed against families living in poverty and the reason I scream to abolish the child welfare system as it currently exists.

A future free of youth incarceration and family policing isn't far-fetched. Our partner National Youth Justice Network's recent report of the big wins for youth justice in 2023 reminds us of that. #WeCanDoThis
With our latest release, the 2023 #YouthPolicyAdvances, we celebrate the critical wins to keep more youth out of carceral settings and push our imagination forward to what true youth justice looks like - a world where community safety equals investing in the holistic resources needed for the well-being of youth and families.? In 2023, 30 states advanced 99 #policy wins that will create better outcomes for youth across the country. The year showed us exactly what’s possible when we believe in a shared vision and commit to the well-being of young people.? 8 states passed legislation limiting or ending the imposition of juvenile court fines and fees: Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Texas, and Washington. In addition, Hawaii passed a resolution requiring data collection on fines, fees, and restitution assessed against minors for the last five years. 7 states passed legislation expanding the ability of young people to expunge youth records (and some adult records) under certain circumstances: Kentucky, Idaho, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Vermont. 6 states passed legislation addressing youth in the adult system, from limiting transfer to the adult system or adult facilities, to conditions for youth being tried as adults. Check back on NYJN Socials for more #YouthJustice Policy Advances as we continue to highlight State policy advances. Visit https://lnkd.in/eyJV3uvR to view 2023 Youth Policy Advances. And remember, that our vision of justice grounded in the values of abolition, prevention, healing, restoration, opportunity and equity is possible. When we continue to fight, we continue to win!
