Today I signed the bipartisan “Raise the Age” legislative package, which raises the age of who is considered an adult under the criminal justice system from 17 to 18 years old. I’m proud that we’re ending the unjust practice of charging & punishing our children as adults.

Great news from Michigan, where 17-year-olds will now stay in juvenile court! Congrats to all the MI advocates who have worked to Raise The Age Michigan and thank you to Anquan Boldin PlayersCoalition and Devin&Jason McCourty for your support! #DefendChildren #TreatKidsLikeKids

Michigan has opted to #RaiseTheAge that juveniles can be prosecuted in court! We are one step closer to protecting children in the justice system. #TreatKidsLikeKids

Congratulations, Raise The Age Michigan! We know this victory was hard fought and oh so necessary. #RaisetheAgeMI #RaisetheAgeLA
