The National Week of Action Against Incarcerating Youth is a fully-volunteer project organized by hundreds of groups and individuals around the United States
We are looking for groups and individuals around the United States to organize events.
The juvenile justice system targets four youth group for incarceration; they are the following, in no specific order: (1) Youth of Color, (2) Youth with Disabilities, (3) Economically Disadvantaged Youth, and (4) LGBT+ Youth.

PROBLEM: The three-step oppressive punishment process targeting youth is.
1. Criminalization of Youth is the stigmatization of youth through laws and norms that are based on their behavior, dress, socializing, identity, and community they live in.
2. Policing of Youth is the surveillance and social controlling of youth by law enforcement and those in disciplinary roles.
3. Punitive Discipline of Youth is the punishment of youth which includes detention, out-of-school suspension, incarceration, home arrest, and probation.
These three steps need to be eliminated in the juvenile justice system, which is the prison part of the school-to-prison pipeline.
