With the upcoming Victorian State elections we have the opportunity to make our voices heard and call for a commitment to reforming the youth justice system that disproportionately affects First Nations children in our state and across the country.

Email your State candidate now and ask them to commit to reforming an unfair and unjust youth justice system in Victoria.
