October has been Youth Justice Awareness Month (YJAM) since 2008. In 2016, it became Youth Justice ACTION Month. During YJAM, people across the country organize events that raise awareness, strengthen coalitions, build campaigns, and encourage action to keep children out of the adult criminal justice system. The theme for this year’s YJAM is #VoteYouthJustice – because the elections this November will be critical in determining whether the opposition gets stronger, or whether forces for better justice for youth get the upper hand.
