Accessible, Inclusive, Just Systems Co-Led with Young People Informed by Data
"We envision a city where young people are invited to help lead and make decisions on the issues that affect them, where restorative justice and participatory decision-making practices are widespread, and where the government and entire community invests in and is held accountable for educating and supporting young people equitably."
#DegreesNYC is committed to uncovering and dismantling racist systems and practices. To this end, #DegreesNYC supports policy and system changes that:
Support strong youth leadership at all levels to change systems
Invest in education
Divest from the school to prison pipeline
Dismantle police culture in all its forms
Support systemwide restorative justice
Hold our systems accountable for achieving equity
