State Campaigns

Over the 15 years of the Campaign, 80% of the states and DC changed their laws, making it more difficult to automatically treat children as if they were adults or hold them in adult facilities. We did this by embracing a Campaign approach to change.  Each year, CFYJ worked intensely with 5-7 states on campaigns, while also providing less intense technical assistance to another 10-15 states.  To find out more about what states accomplished and how to reach states for more information, see the snapshot.
