Thank you Sophie Li!

55:18
LA County Incarceration Rates by Ethnicity - Whites - 1.8 per 1k, Latinos - 4.3 per 1k and Blacks 20.8 per 1k. Please keep this in mind when making recommendations.

56:09
We (Youth Justice Coalition) is happy to share a short presentation on the history of youth incarceration and youth development in LA County, if the group would like.

56:50
Is this committees focus only on K-12 or also on Higher education like community colleges?

57:33
It is my hope that any decisions or recommendations that are made within this subcommittee are data driven.

58:35
What I recommend will be experience driven.

58:46
I hope that will be ok

59:12
I would like to present a program that can house, educate and vocationally train up to 450 people at a time at a spectacular 700 acre location in Lake Hughes. Here is a video of the location - https://paliportal.wistia.com/medias/30fbcr6kda?wtime=0s

59:19
We welcome all recommendations

59:35
We need to expand the youth definition beyond the age of 24

01:00:30
are we going to need to think about how it will all play out during and post pandemic. so many youth missing out, including young adults just trying to make it.

01:00:30
Great point, Joel.

01:00:51
I've advocated on behalf of foster, homeless, probation and LBGTQ+ youth for nearly 3 decades and have examined Mr. Wexler's program model and believe it has extraordinary potential - especially if refined by experts on this remarkable working committee

01:01:07
Agree with earlier comments not to conflate education (K-12) with youth and youth development to define who we are serving otherwise we recreate the same system.

01:01:31
We need a youth advisory body for this subcommittee that consists of system impacted and formerly incarcerated youth

01:01:39
Given the pandemic and the learning loss, youth will need support attaining foundational learning skills: reading and math.

01:01:41
To answer those questions for us

01:02:15
As a young formerly incarcerated man this is something I would like to see

01:02:22
We need to think about those without support systems—pushed out of school (i.e. gang members) and think about human development across the life span—what do youth and young adults need to heal from trauma.

01:02:53
Echoing what Ronnie is bringing up there needs to be space for youth that are systems impacted to share their vision.

01:02:55
Will they be any locale requirements? What we don't want is organizations and agencies from out of the area - state, city and community. We know that MONEY brings everyone to the table

01:03:07
yes! thirding what Ronnie and gloria are sharing

01:03:15
What Carmen said!!!!

01:04:11
pressure makes diamonds! let’s get it with these 5 weeks! I’ll be here passionately for the youth! ✊🏽

01:04:14
I support Ronnie's suggestion, and the echoes by Gloria and Taylor (and appreciate everything else folks have been sharing)

Is it appropriate to consider age in relation to centering youth?

01:12:00
@Joel, that’s a great idea

01:12:06
Thank you for the nomination, however, I respectfully decline.

01:12:19
especially from comments that folks had regarding centering youth voices.

01:12:36
yes we need to center the youth

01:12:48
@Joel, this subcommittee should absolutely identify the age of the population it wasn’t to support this year with the Measure J funding.

01:13:03
@Joel, so yes this is appropriate.

01:13:34
I wish to decline my nomination.

01:13:53
Thank you for sharing, Anthony!!

01:13:55
Yes Anthony!! Youth Justice Coalition has been leading this work for so long. Thank you for your leadership

01:14:55
thank you Anthony!

01:15:10
thank you all for nominating me 🙏

01:15:14
In his work with Youth Justice Coalition, Anthony has tirelessly advocated for the supportive services and youth development programs that fulfill the needs of our communities who need it most. I look to Anthony to guide the Measure J implementation process in a way that is accountable and in service of care not cages for LA County. Thank you.

working with youth and being a public speaker in the schools we need someone that is going to be a voice but also give youth a platform to share their own concerns. Our degrees are great but we need to give them opportunities to be heard finally.

01:22:21
yes so true

01:22:46
So impressed with all the candidates and so glad they will be serving on this committee. Anthony is the only youth with incarceration history and electing him Co-Chair seems the best way to give voice to the youth.

01:22:49
thank you Ellen!

01:23:54
Thank you for pointing out those concerns, Beth!

01:24:25
We're so lucky with all of the awesome, dedicated candidates. But I'd also like to echo that Anthony has the direct lived experience AND comes from YJC who has done the MOST work in elevating and centering the voices of youth with lived experience.

01:24:32
My apologies

01:24:59
No worries at all

01:25:57
I would like to comment

01:26:29
youth have to be at the table. in the youth opioid coalition there are over 22 organizations present and youth hold the chair positions.

01:26:35
We have worked with YJC as partners and have met Anthony through our work and in multiple spaces. He is a strong facilitator and always center youth voices and the experience of this who have experienced incarceration. I echo my support for Anthony.

01:26:55
can co-chair recommend funding of their own organizations or would that be a conflict of interest ?

01:27:34
he’s led the passage of many bills at the state level

01:28:03
@Ben: We are going to go over this later in the meeting but I can share now that Measure J Funding Recommendations that this Subcommittee will develop will be for services and programs and not directly for an organization.

01:29:15
i also think anthonys first hand experience would be super insightful

01:31:09
Growing up in LA, I never could have imagined a community first, jails last direction for this city. Seeing leaders like Anthony in spaces like this one is essential to truly building out alternatives to incarceration here and to build the blueprint for other counties to follow. My full support for Anthony Robles

01:31:37
I’d like to second my support for Luis Vasquez! Beyond his lived and professional experience, his focus on LGBTQ+ youth would be very valuable in furthering this committee’s focus on intersectional oppression!

01:31:41

01:32:19
An investment in youth

Say it again and again… an investment in youth

01:33:14
while i fully support anthony robles, i want to emphasize that all of the nominees seem amazing. i really hope that regardless of whoever becomes co-chair, that all these folks continue to show up in this space and share their expertise - this committee will be better for it <3

Or for the nomination of the co-chair?

01:34:08
This is comment about the nominees for Chair

01:34:13
Thank you

01:34:23
This is public comment specific to the the nomination process for the second Co-chair

01:37:31
Although I fully support someone closest to the age group this committee needs to center to be selected as co-chair, I am really frustrated that with this ATI effort we are replicating very inequitable processes to put impacted folks in positions to lead, there’s very short notice to get the word out on these meetings, etc.

01:37:40
We invite everyone who had remaining comments to share on this chat

01:37:47
I wish our choices for office were always this good ✊🏿✊🏿

we got work to fo

01:38:14
do

01:38:22
was measure J about the status quo being used or transforming what’s around us regardless of arbitrary or tradition labels? that’s what this vote splits to. vote for AJ. We changing this.

01:38:27
I have seen first hand Anthony's facilitation, agenda setting, and policy analysis chops on a multi-year, multi-issue countywide initiative. His leadership is grounded in lived-experiences and I know he will bring so much to the co-chair position. Thank though for everyone sharing their stories, and I hope whoever ends up with this position continues to center youth voices and those who have been systems-impacted.

01:38:43
I was not able to give public comment but I will share this again: Questions for Dossier: Are they part of any clubs or associations? Where are they based? Where are they from? Are they a judge / legislator / something else?
We’ve met with Judge Tapia before and he was actually nice and different from the other judges we met with

01:38:47
voting link ?

01:38:57
it’s coming

01:39:07
thank you

01:39:07
Anthony has been a leader in transformation

01:39:38
No Link—the Poll should automatically open in the Zoom App. If it didn’t let us know

01:39:43
where’s the link??

01:39:55
AJ HAS AN EXPERIENCE

01:40:00
it’s on the top of the screen in green

01:40:05
yes on phone can you please put in chat

01:40:09
I did it on the phone. it popped up on the screen at the top

01:40:14
so if you go back to the main screen of the call then it will say poll in progress on top of your screen and you can hit that

01:40:17
it will be in green at the top on the main screen

01:40:57
I belive Anthony would be a challenge to stauts quo an elitness. he has brought about change. Plus he is born and raised in Los Angeles in the SGV an area that is a resource desert.

01:41:18
100% Joe

01:41:30
I’d like to request you ask everyone who is on the phone to give their votes.

01:41:30
absolutely agree Joe

01:41:42
We need at the table when it comes to making decisions about how to see our youth transform from men and women destine for prison or an early grave to men and women destined for college campuses and success in life

01:41:49
Yes Joe! Anthony is a home grown leader fo justice!

01:42:30
Gary out of Lynwood serving in the city he from provides an opportunity to have someone who knows the process but got the values and body of work needed to create change.

01:43:07
leading the team organizing our youth to create change they want to see. with him we hit the ground running.

01:43:27

01:56:03

01:56:06
Will we be able to receive these slides for review after the meeting?

01:56:27
Can you add the link to the slides here so folks can review them right now for greater engagement?

01:56:48
We are working on getting this content shared after this meeting along with the minutes

01:56:49
+1 to the request for the slides please

01:56:53
Sorry, just saw that Miguel asked that right before me, ha ha

01:57:15
I recommend the County Department of Arts and Culture be invited to make a presentation.

01:57:20
In the future can we have them available during the meeting?

01:57:21
Yes we will be sending out or posting these slides ASAP after this meeting and in the future as well

01:57:28
were these slides shared with the group, its helpful to read along as we listen

01:57:49
Leanne, next time we share slides if you click middle right button with view options you can zoom in or out as you choose

01:58:47
like private prison companies that also run reentry programs?

01:58:58
I was with First 5 LA and before that I ran before and after school programs and now I’m doing some work with Think Together on the early learning and after school programs. I’m also a Leadership LA alum!

02:01:51
but there is not currently a limitation around SPAs to focus on at this time?

02:02:45
Thank you Eunisses!!!

02:02:56
great point Eunisses

02:03:07
Thank you, Eunisses.

02:03:33

02:03:50
@Vanessa: This Subcommittee can decide which young people & education related Funding Recommendations it wants to put forward and in which communities, Service Planning Areas (SPAs), and cities it wants to connect to

02:04:49
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/11/05/changing-conversation-about-%E2%80%9C-risk%E2%80%9D-students-california

02:05:09
Am I the only one who is having trouble keeping up with the lingo and acronyms like CBO, Spa (?), 3rd party, and the definition of “program” for the purposes of making recommendations (b/c it sounds like we cannot recommend giving funding to a pre-existing “program” such as one of Homeboy Industry’s current programs.

02:06:11
CBO= community based organization

02:06:24
SAP means service provider area

02:06:36
SPA- sorry

02:06:40
Could I get some clarity on what type of feedback we are looking for at this time? On the process? The values we should use? Etc. Thank you!

02:08:12
This is public comment on any questions or comments on funding recommendation parameters Mandie shared

02:08:51
Thank you for that clarification David, I’m here with the invest in youth campaign who is doing work in the city when it come to positive youth development and advocating for an inclusive and holistic youth development department in the City of LA.

02:09:20
Thank you for the clarification.

02:09:55
Is there any restrictions on using race as a defining criteria for “target groups”

02:10:16
Is there a possibility that we get a more detailed agenda for the next meeting? I think it would be helpful to organize our ideas and contribute more meaningfully to the conversation.

02:10:21
^^

02:11:10
I’d love to hear from folks with lived experience about the programs that helped them and/or what programs/services they wish they had access to in pre-school, K-12, 18-28 etc.

02:11:49
for example, $20 million to fund youth housing, that should be distributed in x way

02:12:01
https://www.ncjfcj.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/NCJFCJ_Assessing_Trauma_Final.pdf

02:12:16
👆🏾This has not been implemented.

02:12:36
Thanks you folks for your suggestions, recommendations and requests for future meetings. We are noting them down

02:12:40
Can we request that we clarify jargon or acronyms when speaking for those who are new to this process?

02:12:48
I recommend that county youth workforce development experts be invited to make presentation

02:12:49
Programs that use Arts-Based Strategies for Violence Reduction, Mentoring & Entrepreneurship

02:13:21
I support arts based recommendation

02:13:44
The most innovative and creative solutions to histories problems have always come from discussion that some one thought was off topic

02:13:49
@LiliaOnate yes please least clarify jargon and acronym. And my invitation is that if anyone hears jargon to please pause us and ask for clarification. This work is notorious jargon heavy.

02:13:56
System impacted youth include children that are involved in Family Court cases and Children’s Court cases as well.

02:14:11
Thank you

02:14:55
This approach by the California Arts Council is something to build off of https://arts.ca.gov/grant_program/innovations-intersections/

02:15:09
Great question, Araceli

02:15:12
I also support arts based programs and RJ related programming provided by community members that come from the communities they will serve.

02:15:21
related to what Araceli is sharing, given our short timeline i would love to see us bringing in data and landscape analyses that have been done by previous efforts!

02:15:39
@Joel thank you for uplifting the importance of the arts not as a luxury but as a core component to youth wellbeing

02:15:40
* previous collaboratives and coalitions

02:15:56
^^^^yes!!!

02:16:09
This is the website for Ready to Rise: https://www.readytorise.la/

02:16:37
The youth who most need the creative vision of this work group to achieve humanizing system change are those aging out of our foster care system - consider the data - 40% of our chronic homeless population; 70% of the state prison population; 80% of survivors of human trafficking report histories of foster care. School based programs providing individualized support connected with opportunities to enable these youth to explore nature and escape oppressive group living situations are critical to change these outcomes

02:16:38
@elida yes I support Joel idea of arts strategies

02:17:06
Well said Paul!!

@Araceli In the brainstorm happening at the end of the meeting, we invite everyone to share what they know about this Subcommittee Focus Area (e.g. the landscape analysis). In Subcommittee Meeting #2, we hope to begin to bring in a “Landscape analysis”, specifically what’s going on related to youth development and education access as connected to what emerged from the brainstorm that comes from the last activity in tonight’s meeting.

ATI = “Alternatives to Incarceration”

02:20:45
I believe we need to create some boarding style learning communities for the youth.

Lydia Templeton leads a school based support system called Children Youth & Family Collaborative that embodies the kind of community based, culturally competent, trauma and healing informed alternatives to probation that aligns with Anthony's powerful vision

I support the idea some young people shared at the beginning of the meeting about having a youth advisory body with youth who have been impacted by systems of incarceration and policing

02:29:09
THERE IS ALSO MULTIPLE SLIDES TO WRITE ON IF THERES NO MORE SPACE, CLICK THE RIGHT ARROWN ON THE TOP

02:29:32
I love Joel's point. Good paying jobs for peer navigators and credible messengers is key!

02:29:49
Thank you so much for your time and allowing me to participate. I must get back to transitional and get my belongings before its too late. I hope I will be invited back. God bless and be safe all of you

02:30:44
I don't know if mine was deleted but was as follows: "I see a lack of educational programs and resources, specially geared towards continuation education. We shouldn't simply give up on youth after an error (or a few) - they should receive the same resources as mainstream schooling (tutoring, mentoring, sports, etc.)

02:30:46
Employment and Career prep programs for youth

02:33:13
I'd like to see funding diverted for the younger youth, elementary age group, to set a stronger educational foundation. This group does not have the concerns of the older youth having to provide for the home. A strong foundation will lead to confidence and encourages success. Perhaps tutoring for young kids, Kumon or similar tutoring vouchers. The children is were I believe we need to start, the younger the better.

02:33:15
So True! Parenting youth lack school support

02:37:36
Thank you so much for sharing, Kenzo!

02:37:55
thank you Kenzo. love what you’re saying

02:38:04
This youth are in need of mental health services. Many of them are suffering from chemical imbalances that are of result of the ADD and ADHD drugs that were prescribed to them in elementary and secondary school.

02:39:37
Thanks for uplifting Kenzo! Agreed

02:39:41
ifoster's AmeriCorps TAY program that hires former foster/probation youth and trains them to excel as peer advocates and Credible Messengers (thank you for highlighting this need, Nicole!) to help empower the next generation of system-traumatized youth. They are working with a collaborative to develop a Independent Living Program training Academy in a beautiful natural setting - we should invite them to make a presentation as I believe they can revolutionize ways our system prepares youth aging out to be able not only to cope but thrive with the support of a peer and alumni network.

02:39:51
Thank you for uplifting all of that Kenzo!

02:40:30
