Unlike legislative session recaps of the past, on Wednesday, August 28th, youth-serving orgs, the Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights and Daughters Beyond Incarceration adopted a different approach by providing a youth justice town hall. 

Attendees heard from several of New Orleans’ youth in addition to Senator Royce Duplessis and former Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Arthur Hunter during an informative panel.
