Check out this awesome youth-run and youth-led event in Christchurch tomorrow night to officially launch JustSpeak in Christchurch, with a forum asking the question: Who Are Our Prisoners? My niece Forest is helping put this cool event together! JustSpeak is an organisation that empowers young people to speak out for change in the criminal justice system, informed by evidence and experience, towards a more just Aotearoa. Tomorrow nights forum features some amazing guest speakers, Dr Jarrod Gilbert, Sociologist and Author of Patched: The History of Gangs in New Zealand, Verna McFelin, Founder & Chief Executive of Pillars, a charity for children of prisoners, and Roger Kemp, Facilitator of Community Justice Panels, a grassroots partnership between Community Law Canterbury and Police in Christchurch. The speakers at the Christchurch launch will share their insight into the cycles of crime, youth risk factors and the possibility of rehabilitation. This event is free, with kai provided - head along at 6:30pm tomorrow night to Bentleys, UCSA Events Centre, 90 Ilam Rd, Christchurch.
