People's Tribunal on the U.S. Juvenile Justice System
The People's Tribunal will be a one-day gathering that is intended to speak truth-to-power, to educate our community about how the Prison Industrial Complex [PIC] operates in Seattle-King County, to allow those most impacted by the PIC to hold this system accountable, and to help organize our community to be part of an anti-racist movement that is determined to make the PIC obsolete.
This one-day gathering is led by youth who have been working to stop the building of a new King County Children and Family Justice Center (i.e., youth jail). The People's Tribunal will convene those most impacted by this system, their families, jurists, special guests, artists, policy makers, community organizers, educators, and activists from around the nation. The People's Tribunal will lift-up testimonials from those most impacted by the system and their families. It will involve popular education, artistic performances, workshops, and networking sessions that are designed to strengthen our local No New Youth Jail Movement and the international movements to end the PIC.
This one-day gathering will conclude with a Call-to-Action!
