Peace Alliance Conference Testimonials
“Attending a Peace Alliance conference is one of the most wonderful and magical experiences one can have. To be in a space filled with hundreds of like-minded people working towards a non-violence and peaceful world is truly nourishing for the soul… It is very exciting to learn from highly esteemed speakers, trainers and leaders, then go to the capitol to educate our legislators on our legislative priorities is a truly rewarding experience that is a lifelong highlight.” ~ Jerliyn Stapleton, LA area, California
Petition: Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Vote Soon
Friends, the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing soon to mark up and vote on the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, S. 1169. The JJDPA is the core of nearly everything the federal government does in Juvenile Justice, but it’s past due for re-authorization. It will require states to keep youth separated from adults prior to trial as well as in prison, strengthen rules on disproportionate minority contact, invest in alternatives to incarceration, and removes an exception that allowed states to put status offenders in prison.
Tips for raising funds to attend our DC conference
One of the first things you can do to help get money for airfare, hotel fees and conference fees is to reach out to friends and family. $20, $30, $40 from several people can start to add up.
Congressional Petition: SAFE Justice Act!
There is a remarkable political momentum happening across our nation right now to reform our criminal justice system. Thankfully, the momentum is coming from both sides of the aisle. Humanizing our Justice Systems is a core priority at The Peace Alliance as well, and we are glad to share that there is a sweeping new bill before Congress right now called the SAFE Justice Act.
