BLACK LIVES MATTER! - STATEMENT FROM MAINE YOUTH COURT STAFF
June 1st, 2020
BLACK LIVES MATTER!
Maine Youth Court condemns anti-Black violence by police and justice systems.
We support and celebrate youth who are showing up in the face of these injustices in whatever ways they need to — be it through outrage or protesting, caring for themselves and their loved ones, or grieving and healing.
In a restorative process, we ask, “What needs to be done to repair the harm?” We urge our supporters, volunteers, and community partners to always listen to Black youth and support their visions, their wants, and their needs. With youth leadership and direction, our staff recommit to taking meaningful action towards ending racism and advancing racial justice both in our organization and in our communities. We hope our supporters and collaborators do the same.
In solidarity, we choose to not be silent.
MAINE YOUTH COURT PROGRAMMING UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19
Updated June 1st, 2020
To our community partners and volunteers,
As our communities react to the spread of COVID-19, Maine Youth Court will do our part in response to this public health emergency. To that end, MYC is halting all in-person programming at least until July 1st, 2020, and all staff are working remotely with reduced capacity. We will continue to monitor the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and other public health officials beyond that date.
We acknowledge that this public health emergency has caused a significant disruption for many of the youth and families we serve. MYC staff members are available by phone to help process these events, and will be in contact with the youth we’re currently working with via phone or video conferencing.
Should you have programmatic questions beyond an individual youth check-in, please feel free to call Mike at (207) 332-4139 or email mfreysinger@maineyouthcourt.org.
Thank you,
The Maine Youth Court Team
