Massachusetts legislators are currently debating a bill to Raise the Age (S.1061) to end the automatic prosecution of older adolescents under age 21 as adults and shift them to the juvenile justice system. After 10 years of pursuing this reform, we are closer than ever but can't move it without you.

Join the statewide coalition behind the Raise the Age campaign for a lobby day at the Massachusetts State House on Wednesday, June 10th from 1pm to 4pm! We will be meeting with State Representatives urging their support.
