juvenile detention for a full year which includes 10 months of time served and an additional 6 months of incarceration in a treatment facility though an earlier version of the plea deal would have released bresha to the treatment facility today the final plea deal has increased bresha s time in juvenile detention for another two months prosecuting bresha including the pointless punitivity of adding time in juvenile detention should be condemned by all who care about the well being of children bresha s move from juvenile detention to the treatment facility is scheduled for july 30th once

public library the event in detroit is one of several events taking place in 20 cities across the country that aim to redefine what safety means in our communities beyond the current frame of safety through policing the national night out for safety and liberation s mission is to start a different conversation about what safetyis one that is focused on how we can build equity power and opportunity in our communities in the context of police brutality and mass criminalization in black and brown communities the question organizers of the event are asking is does an increased police presence in a community necessarily translate to more safety amp invites our network of media based organizers to participate in this important national conversation about what safety and liberation means for our communities how do we use art media and technology to change the narrative of safety how can we shift public policy from prioritizing policing incarceration and surveillance to instead prioritizing investment in black and brown communities and the creation of a stronger social safety net photo taina vargas edmond organizers of the event in detroit shared this description on night out for safety and liberation we will bring together people with powerful visions for the future a cross section of community leaders thinkers artists and activists from all around detroit together we
