I am a youth rights advocate, civil rights and liberties lawyer, and founding director of the public education and advocacy initiative, Urban Youth Justice (www.UrbanYouthJustice.org). I advocate for the equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity of disadvantaged urban youth, specifically African-American, Latino and similarly-situated youth through direct action, public education, and youth outreach that advances critical thought on the law and policy affecting them. You can follow Urban Youth Justice daily on Facebook and Twitter.
