Young people incarcerated in Colorado are in crisis. Violence in Colorado’s Division of Youth Corrections (DYC) facilities has risen dramatically in recent years, leaving youth and staff feeling unsafe and afraid. Colorado’s youth correctional facilities have higher rates of fights and assaults than other states, and youth and staff are commonly injured during these incidents. In this chaotic and violent environment, children cannot thrive.
To commemorate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his continuing legacy, Pikes Peak Diversity Council has teamed up with ACLU of Colorado (American Civil Liberties Union) to host a virtual community conversation to discuss issues surrounding civil rights and civil liberties.
To receive a link to the conversation, please fill out this registration form. We look forward to seeing you!
