Facilitated by Michael Umpierre, Director of the Center for Youth Justice, “American Youth Justice Narratives: Perspectives of the Media, Policy-Makers, and Communities” will examine the most prevalent narratives around youth justice today, how those narratives are shaped and impact communities, and how we can begin to shift the story towards positive change.

The all-star panel includes:

Michel Martin, Emmy-winning journalist and Host of Morning Edition on NPR
Ramon Ramos, Founder and President of The Exception

Liz Ryan, Stanley S. Nelson Distinguished Practitioner for Justice Reporting & Communications at Louisiana State University and former OJJDP Administrator
Vincent Schiraldi, The Doris Duke Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy and former Maryland Secretary of Juvenile Services

We could write more, but this panel…. it speaks for itself. Each of these panelists could be a keynote speaker but together, their expertise and perspectives will create something truly special. We hope you can join us and don’t miss this conversation.
