PILLAR 03 - NEW DEAL FOR THE YOUTH

Transformative Justice

Communities resourced to ensure young people and their families have physical, emotional, and economic safety — free from systems that perpetuate harm.

FUTURE STATE OF TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE

The world we're building toward

  • Communities are resourced to ensure young people and families have access to physical, emotional, and economic safety — provided in ways that are safe, considerate, and compassionate toward all

​​

  • Abundant resources meet young people's basic needs, prevent homelessness, and address physical and behavioral health through trauma-informed, community-based care

​​

  • Racism, white supremacy, classism, heteronormativism, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, and poverty are no longer embedded in public services, legal systems, or penal codes. Public systems reinforce community and incentivize growth — not punishment

​​

  • Black, Indigenous, and other people of color no longer suffer disproportionately from broken systems. The school-to-prison pipeline is dismantled. Reparations are community-defined and paid. Immigration and migration are neither criminalized nor punished

We Pursue This Future in Solidarity

Policing, legal, and incarceration systems perpetuate harm — systematically and disproportionately inflicted on Black people, communities of color, and LGBTQ communities. We support defunding these systems and mechanisms of surveillance and punishment in favor of investments in the supports our communities need to thrive.

We pursue the New Deal in active solidarity with:
