South Kern's Youth Advocate for Schools Not Prisons

As part of the Youth Summer Justice Series, youth rally outside of the Mesa Verde Detention Center to demonstrate the power of voting. It is a call to local representatives to invest in education and not mass incarceration.

The Power of Stories is an archive of projects submitted every year to Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Statewide Convening. It showcases work created throughout California highlighting the power of individual and collective efforts to promote health and demonstrates how stories have the power to re-imagine and transform our communities. Produced in partnership with the California Endowment.
