Truthout TV: Victoria Law on Closing Cages

Closing Cages: People Power Helps Stop Youth Incarceration

Truthout TV host, Ted Asregadoo, speaks to Victoria Law about her article in Truthout entitled, “Closing Cages: People Power Helps Stop Youth Incarceration.” The discussion centers on funding priorities of local governments for youth jails and the defunding of schools and rec centers that are integral in giving young people a hand up.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $16,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
