\"Nell+Bernstein\"<\/a>We are pleased to be joined on this month’s Peace Action Call by Nell Bernstein<\/b>. Her recently published book, Burning Down the House<\/i>: The End of Juvenile Prison<\/i>, is a clarion call to to end juvenile incarceration and bring our children home. She was featured recently on NPR\u2019s Fresh Air<\/i>, MSNBC and many other media outlets.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Chronicle writes that the book \u201coffers promising alternatives to jail and issues an urgent and unequivocal moral indictment: We\u2019ve purchased peace of mind at the cost of the health, and in some cases the lives, of children – a bargain perhaps as criminal as the worst of youthful offenses.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

The call will be on Saturday, January 10th at 1:00 pm ET, 10:00 am PT.<\/b><\/p>\n

Join Nell during the first half of the call for an important conversation and Q&A on the challenges of juvenile incarceration and how we can move towards more effective solutions, followed by a discussion of this month’s collective action — focusing on enrolling our\u00a0 members of the House of Representatives as initial co-sponsors of the Youth PROMISE Act as the bill is re-introduced. We will also hear inspiring reports about victories our Action Teams from around the country have achieved.<\/p>\n
