http://www.kimyadawson.com/ SECOND LINE TO CLOSE the "Youth Study Center"!
January 19th
12 Noon
Milton Park (1100 Milton Ave, off St. Bernard Ave. in Gentilly)
No child deserves to be held in a cell with rodents, insects, and mold on the
walls. Even FEMA said YSC was too damaged by the storm to keep it open. On
January 19th there will be a rally and second line to close the YSC, the
juvenile detention facility in Orleans Parish. Please come out and support the
safety of our children and our communities.
"We have to understand juvenile crime happens when we fail to cater to and
create more to positive youth programs. Before the storm, New Orleans had 150
Jail beds and juvenile crime was 72% higher than it currently is. Instead of
building more jails and tearing down much needed affordable housing, we need
money for programs that work in keeping New Orleans safe -- not to house kids
like dogs in inhumane conditions." -Youth Formerly Detained at YSC
