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.
The Restorative Justice Project of Maine is the fiscal sponsor of the Maine Youth Court
