Description: Just Kids Maryland is committed to reducing the number of youth who are charged and tried as adults, advocating for policies that transfer fewer youth to the adult criminal justice system, and increasing the number of safe and community-based programs and practices that serve youth who are accused of serious offenses. And they do this by empowering youth who have been impacted by the criminal justice system to speak for themselves. Join us on Tuesday, March 3rd, as we watch a short documentary about the incredible work of the Just Kids Partnership and speak directly with formerly incarcerated youth organizers
