Juvenile Justice Coalition Meeting via Zoom -
Friday, December 10th at 4:00 pm
Juvenile Justice Coalition of the Quad Cities
Join our group dedicated to working on issues that affect and prevent incarceration of our youth. This group works closely with PACG's Civil Rights Forum and with the Adolescence, Race and Trauma Coalition.
With Davenport’s move to build an expanded Juvenile Detention Center (aka prison), our work is important. We are also strongly advocating for a Youth Assessment Program, which would reduce the need to incarcerate our youth.
Because of the holiday schedule, this will be the last meeting of 2021.

Adolescence, Race and Trauma Discussion via Zoom
Monday, November 15th at 7 pm
Adolescence, Race and Trauma Coalition
The Adolescence, Race, and Trauma Coalition is inspired by the work and writings of Kristin Henning (see description above of her newly published book The Rage of Innocence).
We will be sharing information and ideas on how we can make changes in our community to make it a better place for ALL children and families. We also are concerned with the proposed Juvenile Detention Center. We support Youth Advocacy Programs that would lessen the need/excuse to incarcerate children--especially those of color.
We will also briefly discuss the first 3 chapters of Professor Henning’s book. Note: it is not necessary to have read the book to participate.
Please join us. We welcome newcomers.
