WINTER BENEFIT CONCERT DECEMBER 5TH, 2020

Youth Justice Coalition (YJC) will be the beneficiary of all proceeds from the Bedroom Festival Winter Benefit Concert. The Bedroom Festival is free to watch, but we ask that you donate to the YJC as your price of admission. 

 

The YJC is working to build a youth, family, and formerly and currently incarcerated people's movement to challenge America's addiction to incarceration and race, gender, and class discrimination in the juvenile and criminal injustice systems.

 

The YJC's goal is to dismantle policies and institutions that have ensured the massive lock-up of people of color, widespread law enforcement violence and corruption, consistent violation of youth and communities’ Constitutional and human rights, the construction of a vicious school-to-jail track, and the build-up of the world’s largest network of jails and prisons

 

The YJC uses transformative justice and community intervention/peacebuilding, FREE LA High School, know your rights, legal defense, and police and court monitoring to “starve the beast” promoting safety in schools, homes and neighborhoods without relying on law enforcement and lock-ups, preventing system contact, and pulling people out of the system.

 

They use direct action organizing, advocacy, political education, and activist arts to agitate, expose, and pressure the people in charge in order to upset power and bring about change.
