Locked Up & Locked Out

Action & March Against Incarcerating Youth

Join us...

In solidarity with the 2014 National Week of Action Against Incarcerating Youth, individuals and organizations across Chicago are joining to share poetry, hear speeches from young people, participate in a symbolic collective action using locks, and then march to the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC).

Event Information

Locked Up & Locked Out

2221 S. Lawndale Ave, Chicago

Marching from a closed school to the youth detention facility symbolizes our commitment to advocate for better use of public funds; namely more funding for schools and extracurricular activities, jobs and vocational skills development, behavioral and mental health services, community-based alternatives to incarceration, and other restorative justice measures.

Please join us and spread the word to your colleagues, youth, and friends.
