Reform Abolish Invest Divert
RAID:
Reform: Center those with lived experience in the policy-making process
Abolish: End the incarceration of youth and expand investments to support tailored needs for effective rehabilitation
Invest: Address the root causes of crime and stop spending our tax dollars on ineffective, harmful and inhumane practices
Divert: Make our communities JUST AND SAFE FOR ALL by diverting young people from the legal system and restoring harm
R.A.I.D. symbolizes the way in which communities & youth have been systematically raided of resources, investment, and quality of life. CTJA’s Organizational Priorities are driven by experts: Justice Advisors & Connecticut’s young people.
