🚨 SCOTUS’s ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor lets parents opt kids out of curriculum—like books with LGBTQ characters—on religious grounds. Schools must stand firm. All students benefit from education that reflects our nation’s diverse communities. youthlaw.org/news/ncyl-stan…

Detaining families in unlicensed, unregulated facilities for an unlimited time is a human rights violation—plain and simple. The Senate budget bill enables that cruelty. ✊🏽 Children deserve care, not cages. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

🚫 FALSE: Youth won’t complete programs after 9 months. ✅ FACT: AB 1376 allows courts to extend probation if needed — and youth can still access community programs without being on probation. Support that lasts. Supervision that doesn’t. Pass #AB1376Bonta
