Info about our community forum on raising the age of criminal responsibility!
on May 15th, 2012 in Uncategorized
We want to thank those who were able to attend our May 8 community forum and thank the families and youth who stood up to speak about the consequences of New York’s low age of criminal responsibility. Also, a special thank you to Council Member Melissa Mark-Viverito for co-sponsoring and speaking at the event.
Some pictures from the event that were taken by Rosa Rosado of CWOP can be viewed here.
We hope this was just the beginning of community dialogue and awareness around this issue.
Thanks to all who made the forum such a success.
