"Stop The Rail To Jail"

Youth, Adults and Families Challenging The System Across The Country

The CJNY is building a national movement. Stop the Rail to Jail is a movement that connects all of the struggles to keep young people of color out of the system and in programs that serve as alternatives to incarceration within their own communities. The CJNY is made up of organizations that are working to improve the lives of these young people and their families. All of the local and statewide organizing efforts of the CJNY programs make up the structure of this national Stop the Rail to Jail movement.
