Give our children the opportunities they deserve
Gangs have plagued Black communities across the country for decades. Finally, we have a chance to change our country's approach to this problem by offering young people real alternatives to gangs--instead of just locking them up and throwing them into a system that often turns them into hardened criminals.
The Youth PROMISE Act, introduced by Rep. Bobby Scott, is a bold attempt at change--and it needs all the support it can get to become a reality. Please take a moment to add your voice, and ask your friends and family to do the same.
