2020 Children's Rights Summit

Voices of Youth of Color

10:00 am - 11:15 am PST

Young people will share their experiences on what racism means to them in their everyday lives. The impact of racism can be felt everywhere from housing and shelter to jobs and education to foster care and criminal justice.

The conversation will bring together voices from across the country to share experiences and reflections on the very real impact of racism on their lives. This will be a combination of formats including videos, interviews and panel discussion by young people and leading advocates.

Using the day's inspirations, we will work together to wrap the session with tangible ways to take action, including introduction of our Legal Sprint in January!
