In The Movement

Ernest Johnson discusses Ubuntu Village NOLA, an organization with a mission "to provide programming that delivers social, economic, and transformational justice to children and communities" here in New Orleans. Their recently released report "Parents Fighting for Youth Justice" outlines experiences of parents and families of children in New Orleans' juvenile courts. It highlights three core issues: "lack of information and communication," "lack of respect for families," and "lack of effective rehabilitative services and policies." https://ubuntuvillagenola.org/
