This comes at a time when TJJD is currently working with the Texas Legislature on plans to build two new youth prisons.

We cannot allow this to happen. The DOJ Report is one piece of evidence among many that shows how these facilities irreparably harm children. It is beyond time to divest from youth incarceration, and invest in real rehabilitation. Join us in our fight to right this overdue wrong and .

Finish The 5 is a youth-led campaign co-founded by Austin Liberation Youth Movement and other partners. Our demands are:
1. Close the 5 remaining state-run youth prisons in Texas by 2030

This is an invitation to join a powerful collective action.

This November, opponents of Cop City will gather in the South River Forest in Atlanta, Georgia for a mass direct action. With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history. If the city government does not pause construction in order to listen to the people, then we will simply have to do it ourselves: a People's Stop Work Order. Together we can Block Cop City.

Reach out to to learn more about getting involved in this action and locally.
